Need help identifying corals zoas and anemones

[Reefermadness98]

Hey everyone, I'm new to the reefing game, I came across a free 55g setup but im not sure of which species of corals and anemones I have. I'm thinking the little green things are zoas, maybe a type of mushroom? I also have something that looks possibly like a bubble anemone in the 2nd and 3rd pic. Theres 2 pinkish anemones. one anemone with brown tentacles, and 1 really small white/pinkish one maybe 1" in the 6th picture. Also in the 5th pic I have a few of those all over, theyre slightly green and look like they're carpeting the rock, the biggest one is around 2". I think theres some toadstools as well. I hope the description and pictures help, Thank you in advance!

1- possibly a Kenya tree
2,3- bubble coral (plerogyra sinuosa)
4- toadstool
5- rhodactis mussoides
6- hammer coral
7- bubble tip anemone
8- rhodactis sp.
9-bubble tip anemone

Would #9 be a discosoma?

8 looks like they may be covered in flatworms too

Spot on again mate only thing I would add as you new to reefing is your flat worm problem, probably worth doing a new thread on it.

The mushroom to the far right has a smoother appearance but I cant tell for sure unless I see a better picture. Very well could be. It's also on the bottom of picture number 1.

FYI - The hammer isn’t looking too healthy. Especially since all the other crowns are dead. It may not make it. May want to keep an eye on it and take appropriate action if you see it degrade further.

The flatworms look like waminoa flatworms (pumpkin flatworms). I don't believe they actually eat the coral but can suffocate and block the coral from getting light and inhibiting photosynthesis.

Your welcome

#8 is a colony of rhodactis. Hairy mushroom is rhodactis indosinensis, how large the mushroom is leads me to believe its mussoides.

this tank you got it has t5s on it right ?????? Like these pics were taken under t5s ?

it's an led I just have the whites on, I need a new light though, some of the LEDs are going out

Ok cool I was gonna say either your lights are old "if t5s" or yeah your spectrum is way off , that tank is gonna color up like whoa !!! nice score , that green bubble you got is FIRE , and the other coral is also very nice . !!!

So from the entire hammer skeleton there are only 2 really small polyps left, maybe it was polyp bail out from previous water parameters or something? But since there is only 2 left on the entire thing would I be able to cut them off into frags and discard the rest of the skeleton, or what should I do?

Heres a better pic of the hammer, I'm also fighting an algae problem it definitely wasnt in the best shape when I got it, but I got an rodi filter and a mixing station set up and I just did a large water change yesterday, slowly but surely the whole tank is getting better

It looks quite bleached from this pic. Can you take a pic with more blues? I wouldn’t cut it at this moment because you may stress it more.
