What coral did I inherit?

[Wings317]

Part of my new tank I traded for was a bunch of coral. I am attaching pictures of what I was able to take so far. I don't know what they are, rarity, value, etc. Your expert help is appreciated.

Bubble
frogspawn
palys
scoly
scoly
birdsnest (I think)

Dunno the last one.

Pic one bubble coral
Pic two looks like frocspawn
Pic three polyanthoa

Pic 6 sps acro?
7 looks like a carpet anemone

 

[BestMomEver]

The first is a bubble coral
The second photo is of three different euphyllia corals.... hammer, torch or frogspawn
Third photo looks like a short tenable elegance on the left and green paly polyps on the right
Third and fourth are some sort of lobo (or similar) someone will clarify
Next is a finger leather
Last is a lobo or something

1-bubble coral
2-frogspawn
3-grandi palys (cinnamon)
4-trachyphyllia
5-trachyphyllia
6-birdsnest
7-elephant ear mushroom-possibly

I see some have said the next to last is an acro. Is it hard and stony or soft and wavy?

There's also a fungia in #3 and a Pavona in #6 but these are my guesses too... Also, physically remove as much of the valonia (bubble algae) as possible.

the one in the last pic appears soft and wavy and will close up from time to time. i know that there are 2 different ones in pic 2, 3, and 4. i apologize if the bubble algae is throwing it off. I will take more pics in tank i am storing them while rebuilding their old tank. i have shared that adventure in a different thread.

bubble algae is gone. i have transferred to a new tank.

Agree with everything. Could 4 possibly be a wellsophyllia?

Welsophyllia were all classified trachyphyllia. I believe 4 can be trachyphyllia radiata and 5 is a trachyphyllia geoffroyi

Thanks for the info.

5.... hmm, if it’s a mad acanthophyllia that would be a diamond in the rough. Trachy is still cool though to, if it’s that. Trachys and stuff need lots of food. Fatten it up and it will be easier to ID lol.

 

[DSC reef]

Definitely would be cool. IMO homophyllia and acanthophyllia have a pretty distinct structure compared to trachyphyllia.

True

Hmm @DSC reef do you think that the last one might be an oddball/stressed elegance? It's got the large oral disk with stripes and short tentacles

Good eye and very possible.

 

[Katrina71]

That is some major bubble algae!

Based on the soft, wavy, and sometimes closes up comment, I dont think so. Maxi mini anemone perhaps?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. Elegances are definitely soft (at least the polyp is), can be wavy if there is flow and retract quite readily when touched.

My second guess would have been a really big Rhodactis indosinensis or maybe even an Amplexidiscus (except I don't see the margin characteristic of A. fenestrafer)
