ID please

[Projecttrinh]

Hi guys. I'm still pretty new to the hobby and so far it's been smooth sailing with cycling and slowly stocking. However, I had a mix of live rock and dry rock. Today, I noticed something in my live rock. Can you help ID and if I should remove/worry?

Also on another rock

Looks like a kenya tree to me in the second pic.

Kenya in the second pic. Maybe pineapple sponge in the first? Hard to tell what you are asking about.

I think you are both right about the second pic being kenya tree, I got the LR from someone who had a healthy reef tank. Been there since I cycled...should I keep it there still?


Here is a close up of first pic. Trying to ID both. A little white thing on right and something with bristles in mid.

I'm going pineapple sponge for my final answer.

Should I take the kenya tree coral out? Is it dead? Was in there from start of cycle without light until now. What harm will it do if I leave it?

Fyi, not ready to try coral yet

It looks healthy in the image, usually extremely easy to keep and eventually will start to spread rather rapidly. Very hardy. I've kept them in a tank that was still cycling. Keep it if you want a good starter coral.
