Sorry for poor quality iphone pics. Wondering names for the 3 larger corals.

Just noticed these small organisms today.

Number 4 and 5 are same , but so small that I tried to zoom, but cannot get a good pic. It is alive , white base with 3 very small polyps.


1- A colony of ? It has 1 mm polyps that extend out, brown colored.

2- flourescent light green with yellow mouths.

3- bright green upright coral

4- these two are the same. It was just discovered today, and is white base about 3 mm wide round, with 3 small half mm polyps
5- Same as above, better pic, shows slight flourescent green polyps.

6- transluscent anemone , with slight pigmens of green floursecent accents.

Pic 2 looks to me like a devil's hand leather, pic 3 pocillopora? Pic 4,5 look like sponges maybe. I could be wrong. Just my guess

1- Looks like possibly a montipora spongodes or a close relative

2-Looks like a leather as mentioned above. Perhaps a devils hand or a cabbage leather.

3- Pocillopora or Stylophora

4&5-Can't really make anything out from the pics but looks spongy. Could also be some kind of tunicate.

6- This is a jewel anemone. Can be a pest, but slower reproducing than aiptasia or majano. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get out of hand if you like it.
 
1- spongodes
2-pectina
3-psammacora-
4-white dot
5-white dot
6-likely a nuisance anemone.. ball or morano maybe
