Venturing to Corals

What kind of corals are these?

Euphyllia!

You are looking for torches, hammers and frogspawn. They are all related and have similar care requirements.

Ok, in this video I’m watching the guy said they’re very hardy

Agree both are Euphyllia. 1st one is probably a torch but could be a grape. 2nd one is a branching hammer. Stay away from wall hammers.

What’s wrong with those

They die.

The skeleton is all connected, so any damage or infection spreads. You want branching Euphyllia

They require stable water params. If your chemistry has swings, they may suffer as a result.

My alk just got too high (up to about 9.6dkh) and my hammers got really unhappy and retracted. Torches are still looking happy though. Stability is key, along with decent flow.
