So if I take pics of something...

[dakotanut]

Can y'all help me identify what it is? I have 4 corals I don't know what they are. None are SPS. I'll get them posted soon. Light is off on tank until 10 a.m. my time.

Post them up and well do our best

1st one. I like this one a lot. It's growing.

This one has grown on a but not much.

I think this one is dead. Not much if any growth from it.

This one is growing good. I got some FUEL for my corals. I hope it helps them. Thanks for identifying them for me. I am going to put more in this Nano tank.

The first picture is a Euphyllia coral called a Hammer Coral.
The second one i'm unsure. Zoa's of some sort?
The third picture is definitely dead.
The fourth and fifth pictures i'm unsure.
#reefsquad any help on the unidentified corals?

 

[Greybeard]

Yup on the Hammer coral.
Yellow star polyps, perhaps?
Dead Favites of some sort, I'd guess.
Hard to see... Palythoa?

The second and fourth pics look like leptastrea to me. The second one for sure.

 

[dakotanut]

The dead one I need to toss or just remove? The 2nd and 4th pic I think are the same coral different colors. Sorry for the double pic.

 

[dakotanut]

Do y'all need better pics of them?

If you want you can scrape the skeleton off the plug and reuse the plug later on down the road. Thats what I always do, you never know what you might accidentally frag down the road

 

[dakotanut]

I think I'm going to take it back and see what they will do about it. Haven't had it long.

 

[dakotanut]

Here is a better pic. Sorry. I cant get the better pic of the other one to load up. Not from my tablet, phone, pc, or MAC. I don't know what the problem is.

Yep. Leptastrea.

 

[dakotanut]

Yep. Leptastrea.

Both of them?

 

[Maritimer]

Both of 'em.

Leptastrea comes in a kaleidoscope of different colors!

Is that the scientific name or name? I'm trying to put it in my log.

 

[Maritimer]

Leptastrea is probably at least _based_ on the coral's latin (scientific) name. Sometimes, as this is a hobby, the names we use for a thing can drift from their actual proper name. Anyway, the corals go by the name Leptastrea in the hobby, and if you use that, folks will know what you're talking about.

Ok thanks.
