Got some gulf live rock. Was shipped almost dry and took 5 days to get here, but am starting to see some bounce back.

first photo: the bubble tip anemone looking thing
Second photo: the coral and macro algae
Third photo: the coral

Also. I got what I thought was diatoms around day five. They started to fully cover the glass. Here is a photo after I scrapped the algae off the glass. Could use help with an ID as well

What a cool haul! I think I can match the first three to the critters found here: https://tbsaltwater.com/thepackage/organisms.html

So the first one seems to be what they refer to as a "small bead anemone" though I can't find anything that looks like it when I google it.

The second one is a manicina coral- they're frequently found on gulf rock, but they're not typically sold in the hobby for whatever reason.

The third one looks like a star coral- Can't get much more specific than that. Best of luck! These are some pretty cool finds- none of them seem like they'll become an issue. They'll probably all need (or heavily benefit from) feedings, as many corals do :)

Thank you! I’m amazed at the amount of life even though it was shipped dry
 
Also instead of making a new thread - I got this frag for Christmas and I’m not sure what it is. Anybody have an ID? Seems to be doing well in my low light tank
