You have brown palys on the right. Looks like favias in the middle and zoas on the left. Looks like watermelon, but I cannot really tell.

Looks like a Duncan on top

The one on the right is called eagle eye but the middle one not sure the green looking one and the one behind that not sure wither

that Camel shrimp, watch out.

 

[johnny4491]

What do you guys mean ???

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Camel shrimp are known to eat coral.

 

[johnny4491]

What ? They told me they don't I'm going to have to get rid of him asap what kind of shrimp are safe to put in there

 

[Longnose Hawkfish]

Your local fish store might have gotten him confused with a peppermint shrimp. They look very similar but the peppermint is reef safe while the camel is not. You could get a cleaner shrimp or a peppermint shrimp for your tank. You also could get a fire shrimp but they get to a pretty decent size.

I wouldn't necessarily call a peppermint shrimp reef safe. I've had a few go rouge on me over the years and start eating corals before. (Favites, Chalice, Leptastrea) Your definitely rolling the dice with these IME. Good luck though.
As far as those corals go, you have a Duncan on top. Protopalythoas on the right. Goniastrea? (greenish one) Favites? (reddish one w/ green centers) Zoanthids on the far left. (Eagle Eyes?)

I've had peppermints do the same. Also, if you are unaware, that little scooter dragonette has a very specific diet. They take some effort to make sure it is getting enough to eat

Yeah I know I feed it some frozen shrimp Brian I think it is he loves that stuff and so far he hasn't gave me problems always eats when I throw that in the tank
