I got a couple of frags with the LS and the water, and I've identified the Xenia and some kind of toadstool thing, but I still have no clue about the other ones. Please help? Pretty please?

The bottom left picture is of some brown/green palythoa aka paly

 

The bottom right picture is of Green Star Polyp. But it looks dead since the polyps aren't out.

 

Both are entry level corals usually pretty easy to keep.

Is there anything I can do to help the green star polyp? I really wanted one, didn't even know this was it... It hasn't opened in two days, and I'm really not sure of what I can do to make it feel any better :/

usually on gsp the lighter side is the *up* side. Also they are encrusting so they don't tend to curl upwards but down/inwards so any place you have cupping or curling the curl/cup would go down. They can be finicky sometimes until they get established. I ordered some that died and never open. I just bought a cutting from my LFS over the weekend and cut it into 4 pieces. 2 of them haven't opened at all and I saw the larger sheet all opened and saw it get cut.

 

 

The top right looks like a leather or a cauliflower coral. Top right is def a leather of some sort.

The top ones are the same coral from different angles.

The gsp looks and feels kinda like a dried out chanterelle, it's hard to believe that there can be any polyps in there... Well, I'll let it be for a while, hope it recovers. Thanks for the tip :)

Mine didn't extend polyps for a bit, but then took off. Just glue it on where you want it. Like wall paper.
