I have several unknown zoas, Florida ricordia, Kenya tree a ? soft coral (from a friend) & BTAs in a 50 gallon. I'm looking for some more easy corals that would do well with the lighting required for the BTAs. I am very new to corals. These have been in this system and doing well for about 6 months. This tank has a pair of maroon clowns, lawnmower blenny, 2 emerald crabs, about 4 scarlet reef crabs, multiple various snails, tons of pods and several types of macro algae. This is a pic of the ? Coral.

Looks like a Palythoa
What type of lighting do you have and how is your bubble tip doing ? Reason asking is they look pale

Yup. I think paythoa grandis. They might prefer to be lower down in less light. Other softies that are easy arw green star polyps,xenia,cespitularia,sinularia, toadstools,...

Ya looks like a Paly Grandis variety... Looks like they were in a low light area before, is this true? They are just faint in color and have extended bodies, this usually happens to zoas under low light conditions.

Thanks so much for the ID and advice! That pic was under a bad light on 1st day I got them. They have been under PC & then under t5s about 6 watts per gallon. They now have a strong led for the nems. I keep them in middle of tank under about 4 watts per gallon. They have much better color now. I'm confused about the difference between LEDs and t5s?

Additions would be mushrooms and leathers
