I went to Reef Stock in Denver yesterday and spent a small fortune. Unfortunately, I wasn’t paying attention and as a result, I have no idea what some of these corals are.

I’d really appreciate some help to identify them so that I can look after them well. Plan is to grow them in my 13.5G and then transfer them to my 100G system.

1) I’m pretty sure someone described this as a Tequilla Sunrise …… something.

IMG_3811.jpeg

2) This one got damaged on the way home, I needed to superglue one of the limbs back on - fingers crossed, it survives…

IMG_3799.jpeg

3) Pretty sure this is a Torch, just not sure what type.

IMG_3800.jpeg
IMG_3807.jpeg

4) This thing is cool… no idea what it is…

IMG_3801.jpeg
IMG_3814.jpeg

5) I think someone described this as a Skully?

IMG_3816.jpeg

6) Is apparently a ‘Plate’ of some description and 7) on the right is a Candy Cane, I think.

IMG_3822.jpeg

8) Acropora?

IMG_3819.jpeg

The last two are the two frags at the front. I needed to move them to my 100G already because I found my Clown nipping at them this morning.
9) on the left has green, yellow and orange.
10) on the right is a pretty stunning red.

For bonus points, the green thing at the back has been in my tank since I bought it and I do not know what it is…

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
If you don’t even know what they are, what makes you think you can care for them?

1) mushroom of some sort
2) torch of some sort
3) monti digi of some sort
4) pocillopora of some sort
5) acan or micromussa of some sort
6) fungia of some sort
7) candy cane of some sort
8) acro of some sort
9-10) stylos of some sort

If I can find out what they are, I can then research them.
Thanks for the info.
 
#4 Pocillopora, if it is good luck!

#8 green slimer/ Bali green slimer.
 
#2 is rainbow digita
#3 torch
#4 stylopora
#5 orange acan micromussa
#6 fungi or plate coral
#8 looks like Green slimer
#10 left may be porites and right is mystic sunset monti
 
Let me take a stab at this.
1-shroom. Possibly a Yuma
2-bubblegum digitata montipora
3-green torch
4-pocilopora
5-Micromussa lord
6/7-definitely plate and candy cane
8-green Slimer Acropora
9-left is Monti and right is possibly porites or styloceila. The green ones are a type of mushroom I believe
 
Man, I was just talking with my wife about reefstock, didn't realize it was this weekend! Glad you got to go.

#1 Rhodactis

Uncross your fingers, probable that limb won't survive the superglue burn.
With sps, your best bet would have been to glue it to the plug next to the rest. The limb would have healed and the plug would have probably accelerated the growth of the rest of the plug.

I know it's very exciting to go to these shows especially as a new reefer. You should really know what you're looking for what you're after and how to care for them beforehand. There will be many more shows.

Good luck with the frags!

1. Rhodactis
2. Montipora digitata
3. Euphyllia glabrescens
4. Pocillopora aff. damicornis
5. Micromussa lordhowensis
6. Cycloseris
7. Astraeosmilia curvata
8. Acropora
 
2 definitely looks like my bubblegum monti Digita
The last picture with the two frag plugs. The one on the left looks purple and yellow, also almost identical to my electric Daisy lepastrea
 
#9 left is 100% rainbow monti

Really? I do this all the time when my big tangs break a branch off and never had a problem.. the skin grows right over it in a couple days.. I do glue mine under water in the tank thou..

Yes, underwater, instant glued and cooled. This is the way. Most people don't do this. They do it out of water and it burns the skin. If mine breaks, I don't glue it, it will just regrow. ;)
