I cannot find this in any book. maybe it is still to small to identify. This guy probably doubles in size every week.
Also I guess the little burgandy (mushrooms) are mushrooms?

those little mushroom guys are mushroom corals, I don't know the latin name for them.
The other thing kinda looks like a damaged bubble or fox coral but its hard to tell from the pic.

That other coral was growing out of a clam shell, now it is kinda moving out, or outgrowing it.

I do not know how it could be damaged, it just started growing a few days after I moved this tank. Not unless the fish jack with it.
I will get a better camera later, and repost later. Right now I am working on installing a sump in another tank. I would like to get it going before my vacation is over.

after a little research this evening, I will buy that it is a bubble coral. From what I have read, they do not like high curent. He is set up right inthe way of a power head. This may be why he looks damaged.

Cool, ya it just seemed a little "deflated" to me but resembled a bubble. There are a few other corals that look like bubble corals too, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Maybe posting it in reef will get you more help, although I think there are only like 10 people that post on any of the Marine forums so I'm sure they read all the Marine forums.
