Hello!

So I know what the coral IS on a basic level. But for the love of me I can't remember what they were called. I know my camera isn't the best but perhaps y'all can help me out.

The last picture shows yuma mushroom

The first ones are zoas - not sure of the specific trade name but there are some people on here who I’m sure could tell you the name. The second one looks a little like a Kryptonite Candy Cane coral but maybe not a full polyp? The third one is a very nice rock full of Ricordea mushrooms. They look like Ricordea Yumas to my unprofessional eye.

The kryptonite sounds familiar I think you are right!! And the top isn't a zoa I promise. I think it's some type of acro with it's polps extended. I just wish I remembered what he called them. The mushrooms he called Frankenstein bounce mushrooms. Memory got triggered on that one. He gave me three type of zoa's as well but I think I can middle through those.

No the first is an acro and the second is just that color. It's bright almost teal.

Hmm… you’ll have to post more pictures of that first one. I have never seen any acros that look like that but I’m sure I haven’t seen every acro. Did you get these from a store or a fellow hobbyist?
The mushrooms in the third pic are certainly very nice red Yumas but Frankenstein Bounces are a different type (Rhodactis) & color of mushroom and they are pretty expensive for a single polyp. I attached a picture for reference. Either way, you got some really nice mushrooms and bright red Yumas like that can go for a lot too.
Just don’t want to see anyone be way overcharged for mislabeled corals, so I hope that you weren’t!

An acro? As in this kind of acropora?

Maybe the top one is an acan with feeders out? Definitely not an acro. Second pic is hard to tell, would need a better pic. Third one is a nice group of ricordea yuma.

Yeah it's an Acan my bad I got my Acro and Acan mixed up.

 

[afrokobe]

yea the first one definitely is an micro lord (acan) with its feeders out. second I cant make out. Third is riccordia yumas

It's not bleached it's hard to capture the color with my camera. It's almost neon green. And it's growing it was smaller when I got it.

I honestly didn't spend that much I got a steal of a deal either way. Guy was breaking down his tank. Here is a better pic of my mushrooms. I mostly just want to know so I don't mislabel anything myself

The mushrooms are definitely red Ricordea Yumas. If the green one looks like this, it’s a Candy Cane coral, sometimes called a Trumpet coral.

Last photo is a definite ricordea yuma
First photo looks like a blasto (Hard to know for sure without seeing the skeleton/fleshy part) and the middle looks like a candy cane/caulastrea

 

[kent78]

in orders, some polyps, then recovering candy cane coral or fox coral, and the last yuma shroom

Watch out for the yumas they can attack other coral near them but not all! Photos of my old 12 gallon tank that did not survive a power outage.
