Id please

[alan j t]

Hi all, i scored on a couple of corals and would like an id so i can do my homework.
I think the first one is a torch. I really have no idea about the second one. And any personal experience would be very much appreciated. Thank you

The first is a frogspawn the second looks like a goniopora? Not 100% sure on the second one as neither of mine look the same.

The first one is frogspawn... the second one looks like sympodium or some type of clove polyp.

Blue cloves on that second one; can become rather invasive!

Oh it will, fast too.

I had the same thought about 8 months ago. Upgraded my tank today and cleaned up the 10 or so rocks that the clove invaded.
Best bet is to keep it on its own rock and keep it isolated, it will take over given the opportunity. JMHO.

Even isolating the rock is often not good enough. They'll release gametes and spread like dandelions.
