Hello everyone! Last week I acquired a ten year old, 75 gallon reef tank in very good health. Needless to say, the move was crazy however my levels are stable and everyone seems healthy and happy. The tank contains a male and female clownfish plus two yellowtail damsels. I have a number of corals which I am having difficulty identifying and I am hopeful someone here can assist me.
Are these corals and what are they called

I have always wanted a marine tank and due to health reasons, I am housebound 12 days a month, I have time to dedicate to my new hobby.

I look forward to hearing from everyone and learning as much as I can.

Cheers!

Welcome home, you will love it here!

Beautiful fish! I cannot tell much from the photos regarding coral species, however. :)

The green tree looking corals are nepthea. They look very happy. Below that on the gravel those button looking corals are either zoanthid or palythoa. To the right of that the coral that sorta resembles grass is green star polyps I believe. The white fleshy coral might not be a coral at all. Its closed up and I'm having a hard time making out the pic, but I think it may be an anemone. Condylactis perhaps. Great looking tank and some hardy corals. Enjoy! Let us know if you have any questions.

Welcome! Pretty nice that you’re starting off with an aged tank, covered in Coralline(good stuff) and some healthy corals. Most importantly no nuisance algae that I can see from the pictures. Sometimes, the most frustrating phase for beginners is the cycling of a tank and a lot can go wrong. You’re fortunate to bypass all of that...
