I recently got my first saltwater aquarium. It has a ton of corals and only some of them do I Know what they are.

1. Is a green thing attached to a rock. There are 2.
2. Don't know if this is even a coral but it has tiny little white polyp looking things.
3. Is sun coral.
4. I think is a type of mushroom coral.
5. This is the 2 ocellaris clown fish's home.
6. Gets smaller at night, but looks like this during the day.
7. Xenia coral
8. A type of candy cane coral.
9. Is a neon Green candy cane coral
10. Is a slow growing coral that needs lots of light.
11. Is some type of seaweed stuff i think.
12. Is Green star polyp
13. It looks like a red bubble algae but it is squishier.

If better pictures or more info is needed please ask. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Here are my guesses:

1. Hard to see, but possibly a mushroom.
2. You might have aptasia in the bottom left corner. Also, the coral is some type of encrusting coral. Hard to say until it "opens up"
3. Is sun coral- yes
4. Blastomussa
5. Frogspawn/some type of euphyllia
6. Gets smaller at night, but looks like this during the day.
7. Xenia coral
8. Yup, candy cane
9. Is a neon Green candy cane coral- yes
10. psammocora
11. Caulerpa Prolifera
12. Is Green star polyp- looks like it
13. looks like cyanobacteria and aptasia :/

12 kind of looks like green star polyps

 

[Hpup45]

Number 3 Sun Coral is a non-photosynthetic, it requires daily feeding of mysis or brine.

 

[Hpup45]

Yes I do feed it. Is krill ok. And also do you know what #6 is or this one

Krill is Ok. (Love Sun Coral)
Number 6 looks like a Donut Coral, but looks bleached, maybe to much light?
Not sure the other white one but again looks bleached....

The Donut coral still eats, I dont know if bleached corals do that, but is their any way to "unbleach" it
