Coral identification

swaquarium · Jun 18, 2012

Hi all. Wanted to ask a favor and some help. I've got an established FOWLR 180. Running dual overflow / return. Wet/Dry, skimmer with mag 3, socks, Mag 12 return. In the tank I also have 2 Koralia 1400's and a Koralia 1050. Lighting is 4 VHO's and 4 Actinic 10k's. 1 - Yellow tang, 1 Naso, 1 Leopard Wrasse, 2 Ocsillaris Clowns ( 1 orange and 1 black )

A friend gave me 3 small corals. Neither of us know the name. Here is my question / favor. I've attached pics and wanted to see if someone could help me with names.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

1) Zenia
2) Blue Clove Polyps
3&4) Button Polyps

All fairly common and semi to fast growing.

Back from the dead after you so rudely left us? :lol: Nice to see you didn't "delete this forum" after all. ;)

I disagree with Fast on #1. It's anthelia, not xenia. It's very closely related to xenia and they can be hard to tell apart. Both have the same care/requirements, though.

Here is a picture of anthelia:

My definite apologies to all. There is no excuse.

It's cool. I'm sincerely glad you are back. I hope you choose to stick around.
