Help to identify this coral

[b.clark]

Can someone help identify the front coral. The back is a Duncan not sure on the front one.

Torch?

I would have though another duncan. Just slightly different than the other you have. Although the tenticles are not what I would expect on a duncan. The four tiny heads make me think not a torch, but not sure. Maybe pictures of it in white light and of the base.

Euphyllia cristata I think

Duncan ?

It looks more like another morph of Duncan to me. Doesn't quite look like a torch - superficially it's similar to a cristata torch, but in my experience cristatas tend to have a more full head of... tentacles, whereas the coral in question has a large 'bald spot' around the mouth.

Here's my cristata, with the head fully covered in tentacles.

And here's a Duncan in the "stubby tentacle" form. Notice the flat center, without tentacles. Note that while these corals usually have longer, more tapered tentacles (almost aiptasia-like), they sometimes appear short and stubby, like a cristata's tentacles.

We'd really need better pictures from the OP to say for sure though.

I would stick with my thought of duncan too. I have seen them appear quite different. E. cristata was a close call, but I agree with Biokabe.

Don’t know what this soft coral is. Bout it from lfs as an assorted soft coral. Please help identify

 

[DeniseAndy]

Need it in white light.

 

[Rene42]

This is with light

Looks like a bit unhappy Xenia or Clove Polyp.

I was going with a very mad clove polyp also.

 

[((FORDTECH))]

Yep clove hmm Maybe Xenia

I was going with a very mad clove polyp also.

It is only two days in my tank. Does it immediately go back to normal?

Don’t know how to make it happy. Got good light on it and put more glow on it

My clove polyps like less flow, moderate to low light, and slightly dirty water (I keep my nitrates 2-5.) mine took about 2 days to fully open up, but they were shipped. I’d just give them time!
