samallam Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 These 2 pieces came on a piece of FL LR I picked up and I'd like to know what they are. I don't have any other pieces so I would really like to adjust my tank to ensure these survive (as a jump start) before I add more in the future. Does anyone know what they are? Its hard to get a good angle on the second one, so I may need to find a way to move that rock. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
ReeferReefer Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I would like to know on the first one too. I have the same guy on some FL LR I have too. Looks like two heads made it and have fine extension. That second coral is amazing! Link to comment
Boggers Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The first one is a Sun Coral. not positive what type of LPS that second one is. Link to comment
samallam Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 so based on some googling of Sun Coral, it looks like mine isn't healthy. Its not nearly as bright and I don't have it in a high flow area. I was more focused on the unidentified one when I placed the rock. I hope someone can help me with that so I can see if it needs anything special. Link to comment
Newstead Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Spot feed that sun coral some mysis each day to get it healthy. Link to comment
jamescstein Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 #1 is a tube coral not a sun coral. Common FL liverock hitchhiker. They aren't pretty but I think they look pretty cool myself. #2 is a mini brain coral (manacini sp). Used to be very common FL liverock hitchhiker, not so much in recent years.

lobster876 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Nice hh all i get are the bad ones Link to comment
samallam Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 lobster, there is a clam or muscle and some other red thing that i thought was a cucumber but now i don't think so. I'm worried, however, that there is something evil waiting for me with all this awesomeness on 1 rock. Link to comment
