The first and last pic appear to be finger leather. The red one is a chili coral (a.k.a. cactus). I would do some research. It's not photo-synthetic and needs to be feed. Only done a little reading on them. Check the RC boards for more info. The last one is some type of SPS but the pic is to fuzzy to tell what.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the ID wolf.

Tank is a 30G with a fluval 304 canister filter and two powersweep powerheads for water movement. Dunno how much LR and LS. 2x55 watt PC from one blue actinic and one 10k.

The guy that gave me the tank couldnt remember how much LR and LS he put in it. Its just been sitting around in the backroom of his house for two years, all he ever did was add topoff water. He never ever fed the tank for the last two years. When i broke it down there was green hair algae everywhere, so thick you couldnt see rock or coral, i dunno how things were surviving. He was running an overflow box to a sump with two returns in each corner for circulation. I replaced it with the fluval to filter some of the algae out. I am gonna set the sump back up as a refugium soon as i get enough money for lights and such.

You should get some type of back wallpaper for your tank, cover up some of those tubes and pipeing... it'll make your tank look that much better. :happy:

Still, a black or dk. blue background looks much better than white textured wallboard. It'll really bring out the colors in your tank. "Ford Classic Black" engine paint - $2.99 @ Pep Boys.
