Coral identification??

[Bakerrr1010]

I have a few corals that were Mis properly named and trying to find out what they are! Appreciate any responses!

#1 Poclipora?
#2 xenia or similar- wait changed my mind.... corky finger leather
#3 Kenya tree

 

[Bakerrr1010]

I thought it was a Kenya tree coral but when I look at pictures online they don't look the same in a lot of the pictures

 

[melypr1985]

I'm pretty darn confident in the kenya tree. Pictures with less blue would help, but I'm positive it's a kenya tree

 

[Bakerrr1010]

Cool thanks how about this. I just found this snail
Murdering my cleaner shrimp

looks like your shrimp was on his way out already and the snail took advantage. Sorry for your loss.

 

[Bakerrr1010]

Thank you I appreciate it. I'm going to take him back today and see what they will do for me I just got him yesterday

good luck. Most lfs wont do anything for you if your livestock dies. Once you take possession of the animal it's your problem. My store doesn't offer refunds but if the animal is still alive you can usually get store credit. If they help you out with the dead shrimp, then your one lucky person.

Well they ended up giving me a second one for half price after doing a water test and everything was fine. They said they have had them in the store for a month so supposedly they were healthy. Possible for an anemone maybe to have killed it.

I believe that #1 is a stylophora. Right on #2&#3.

Yeah you might be right I found a few pictures that look just like it. But also found one picture of poclioira that resembled it but I think your right thanks everyone for your help. I was lucky enough to go for a drive today out of town to lFs and get a toxic hammer and a bicolor frogspawn

Yup Yup.. I was thinking wrong.... good catch!

 

[Bakerrr1010]

Any guesses?

 

[melypr1985]

Red montipora.... kinda faded

 

[Bakerrr1010]

This is the only coral that has died on me and I was never able to identify it and never understood why it slowly diminished

 

[melypr1985]

That's not a very good picture, but it kinda looks like a goniopora

Yeah not a good picture at all! Thanks I'm going to do some research on them and see why it may have died

They can be finicky. Mine seems to be happy some days and totally ticked off other days. We get them in the store often and only half live to be bought.
