Hi I picked up 2 new frags today was told it's just an lps and a mushroom? No other info. I'm new to reefing so not sure which coral this is. From searching it looks like a cyphaestrea. If it is do I have to target feed these guys?

Can't make out what is in the first picture. The second one does look like a mushroom, maybe a rhodactis? Mushrooms don't need to be target fed at all. They live off of light and fishy poop/nutrients in water.

Yehp, cyphastrea and rhodactis. For the cyphastrea, I'd feed small pellets or other tiny frozen food (small enough to easily be grabbed by those bright-colored mouths). Rhodactis vary in their feeding response, but I'd try feeding it anyway. Again, pellets or small enough frozen food. Make sure you turn the water flow down/off so they have time to latch on!
