Identifying New Corals

Kevo6708 · Dec 2, 2019

Hi all,
I'm new here to R2R and saltwater tanks in general. I have a 30 gallon nano that I just purchased some corals for cheap on Black Friday. Can you help me specifically identify them? I know 2 are zoas but not certain what the third one is (the one on the left in the pic with 2 corals). Thanks in advance.

Kevin

Hard to tell exactly but looks kinda like a merulina.. the seller didn’t have a description or information when you purchased it?

Pavona is still my guess but need some white light.

DSC is probably right, the one I have is branching so not the same growth pattern as mine but the structure dose look a lot like pavona..

That growth always fascinates me!

+1 Pavona, another decussata probably.

@Retro Reefer pavona looks like either cactus or frondifera

thanks! It’s a cactus I believe but they are completely new to me.. other than being super aggressive I love them

. I recently also added a branching orange and a incrusting neon gold thats absolutely stunning in person but hard to get a good picture of.
