LFS people rarily know what there talking about (no offense Germanman, you know what your talking about) so don't rely on thier info or let them talk you into it. You could have wound up with an endangered fish/coral and/or one wich will not survive in your tank, or you could have bought some massive fish like a batfish wich will not survive in your setup. One wrong purchase has the potential to wreck months of work. Remember most of this stuff is coming out of the ocean (Wich has not been doing to great lately).

My fish are my babies
yup i agree with dorkfish most my competitors just tell you what you wana hear to sell there stuff. its rare to find a shop like mine where the customer is actually looked out for. always look out for yourself and do the research
Ok sorry but its very small and very cool ill tell you what it does. Last night there was one large tentical on my small coral (like really tall). I was amazed i was hoping all the tenticals get tall like that. Then i came back from tennis today there all flying really high i think he loves my aquarium. All parametes are still steady. Thanks.
the first looks like a tourch. similar to a frogspawn: both euphylla sp.
they are actualy pretty easy to keep. as long as you keep your levels okay and do water changes you really shouldnt have aproblem.
the other one, i am not entirely sure.... it almost looks like a duncanopsammia.... but i doubt youd pay so much money for something you didnt know anything about.... although, the tenticles do look a lot shorter and the growth isnt as clusered as they normaly are. and it isnt colored up yet. i'm not really sure what it is, but it definatly isnt an elegance.
do you have a closer pic of it?
nice looking pieces. hopefully they will color up some more after acclimating to your tank:dance2:

Here are some more and closer pictures of my coral thanks for the replie fishless yes they are still spriting new colours i love them there getting bigger as well and when i accedentally hit them they go write back in the branch thing. Thanks keep the replys coming.
yeah, the first is def a tourch, not a frogspawn
for the second one, what do you mean they go right back in the skeleton? do they actualy completly disapear into it? or do they just retract the tenticles towards the mouth?
whatever it is, make sure to feed it lots. unless i am completly wrong and no where near what it is for an ID, it looks like there is a lot of recession because there is no flesh on the skeleton, but jsut the polyps.

those will work, but i would suggest getting some type of frozen food such as mysis. the saltwater pellets dissolve and break appart really quickly, especialy when the corals are tryign to swollow them so you end up having a lot of unecessary particles rotting in your water.
woudl it be possible to get a picture of the polyps when they are closed up? is that an actual hard skeleton or more of a tough-leathery coating?
