Coral ID's

[Susan Edwards]

Need some id's. First 2 are zoas. The Christmas Rock only has 1 feather duster. Is the coral supposed to be alive. Or dead. Last is a duncan I know

Utter chaos.
Favia, bleached.
Lepto.
Digitata, perhaps blue.
Rhodactis, need another image to be sure.

Is the utter chaos the 2 zoas--first 2 pics? Or the 3rd coral. I should have labeled them...
Is the favia the one above the lepto? It's a nice orangy-red color and had lots of tentacles out tonight. And the lepto. Or is the christmas rock a bleached favia. Which one is the one you think is the rhodactis so I can get another shot. And thanks of course

 

[Tahoe61]

I went in the order of the images except for image 2. No idea what palys or zoanthids it might be.

Almost think 2 is a pandora paly... that's what mine look like under whiter lights

The coral that makes up the Christmas tree rock is dead. Can't tell for sure which one it was but it's usually a porites species. The coral on that rock is probably a mushroom as Tahoe61 said but a better picture...perhaps without much flow and straight on would help.

Here is my pandoras, the specimen in question seems to have much bolder white speckles.

 

[Bapeluso]

I donno, I thought it might just be the lighting of the picture. Under a little blue mine have that pinkish glow, but when its solely white they look brown with spots... I could be wrong, theres so many

 

[Susan Edwards]

thanks. I'll get a couple of better pictures.

Here is a better pic of number 3 which maybe is a favia? I just fed it and it has lots of waving tentacles. The coral on the christmas rock is a giant hairy mushroom per the fish store guy. I'm also adding my long tentacle goniopora. Is this too much flow. I had it on the sand but the flow was pretty much one way. Where it is now the flow is back and forth. Also what lighting for this, and the lepto. I still have the lepto on the sand to adjust
