Coral ID

Does anyone know what coral these are?

What did the seller tell you they were? Lol
The last pic looks like a chalice (maybe)
The second pic might be a goniopora but it would be easier to tell once it opens up.

I got them for free after buying zoas and duncans

Can you ask the seller what they sent?

Just checked. They are a chalice and goniopora

There’s also this starfish on the bottom of the zoas and some brittle starfish. Are these helpful or harmful?

Brittle stars = good

Asterina/Aquilonastrea stars = you'll get mixed responses. Some varieties eat zoas and other coral but most are algaevores. To be safe, you should probably toss it.

I’m still on the fence… if someone’s handing out free gonis I need an address!

@Nemolover12 the free cleanup crew is up to you. I personally do not add them to my tank, they go bye bye when I dip.

I'm just so surprised that I identified them correctly!
