Please help me to ID these corals?

[wesamazmy]

I have got this coral before week ago, the store told me as its a Brain coral, I searched a lot on the internet and I found the Brain is totally different in shape (or I didnt find something similar), I tried to feed it frozen shrimp, brine shrimp but it didn't show any reaction to eat! I know the brain is easy to feed! so please help



The second one is a soft coral still in the store and I want to buy it because I dont have a red color in my aquarium and I assume it will be a good added! I dont know if its a Kenya Tree or not, so could you please let me know the ID of it and if there is any advice about it (easy to keep..etc)

Acanthophyllia deshayesiana/Donut coral, it will feed but probably at night initially. Add some food to the tank, wait 30 min and then feed the coral.

Dendronephthya/Carnation coral, a NPS the typically slowly fail secondary to lack of adequate nutrition. There needs to be a constant supple of small particulate matter. The Carnation does well in systems created to house non photosynthetic corals, considered expert only.

Sorry again about the donut coral, is at night means the lights are totally off? Also what you mean by add some food to the tank and after 30 minutes feed the coral, could you explain more? Thank you

Agree, avoid the carnation coral. It will not survive unless you are set up to meet their demands.

The acanthophyllia or meat coral is in the scoly family. The above is generally a way to entice the coral to enter the feeding cycle. When it can sense food in the water it will start to enter into feed mode. Not always necessary but if you have fish. This pre-feeding response may help the coral get food into its self before a fish or shrimp can steal it. I feed mine lps pellets when i feed tank with fish.

Thank you for your perfect explanation, the idea is clear now to me
