Sorry I can't be of any help...I'm terrible with ID's. Hopefully someone will chime in. Here are a couple of sites that you may get lucky with:

www.zoaid.org

Pull the frags out and scrub the algae off

Perhaps eagle eyes, and I agree with mohawks. The other 2 not sure at all. Maybe vamps on the last one or some vamp morph. Trying to take poor lighting into consideration. Not to derail thread, but what is your lighting and your lighting schedule?

For lighting i use this. I think its t5. I’m saving up for a ai prime right now. For schedule it runs from 8:30am? to 9:45 pm
And with the corals they were random frags i picked up at the lfs, they’re actually my first and currently my only corals. I think the last one looks like devils armor, the greenone looks kindof like a radioactive dragon eye morph, but i’m not sure. Also about the lighting my ipad camera is super awful and i didnt want to get a better camera out, upload a file, etc.

The first site says 404 unfound and the second asks for a password, am i doing something wrong?

#joshporksandwich? I know you do a lot with zoas

Just curious as to what the significance of zoa id's does for someone? Is it piece of mind that you now have a name to the coral?

I’d just like to know what my corals are, also if someone asks i can tell them what it is

Fair I see that side.

I wonder about the names of mine as well. I end just end up giving people a generic response by saying they are zoas.

No, you didn't do anything wrong...I did! I updated the links in post #5. Sorry about that.

Ok

OK, so I can help you with your algae issue if you like. Simply too much light. Anything over 6 hours is no more beneficial to coral than 6 hours is. But to algae more than that will make it take off. That's one of the factors that draw people to programmable lighting, where you can run 5 hours at the max and let it taper off each end. So if you cut down to say, 7 hours a day, you'll notice that algae dwindle down to nothing within a month. Manual pruning and manageable clean up crew will also help. That's my advice do with it what you want.

Good to know, also would an eyespot blenny help?
