Greetings -- Decided to see if my tank is ready for some corals. The difficulty is that I've got a Hawaiian Blue-Spotted Puffer who likes to nip things. I'd tried a single polyp before and it didn't make it, so I decided to try mushrooms. Went to the LFS who sold me two small frags for a really cheap price to try it out. However, I have no clue what they are. One of the rocks they gave me with a mushroom on it also apparently has an anemone hitchhiking on it. It's beautiful, but I know nothing about it. My camera skills aren't all that great and my tank is kinda cloudy from some PurpleUP stuff, but hopefully you can make them out.
Mushroom and anemone:
Mushroom?:
View of the tank so you can see them in relation to other things to judge size:
The camera does them no justice, under actinics they're beautiful. The anemone has very bright green dots on it and is pink/purple, and stands right up off the rock a good 3/4" - 1". The mushroom on that rock is bright neon green. The other "thing" is pink and green and bright as well. They're all way bigger than they were when I first bought them about a week ago at the LFS; the anemone wasn't even really visible, and the two things in the 2nd picture were maybe the size of a quarter and half dollar; now they're open to probably 2-3".
I've also got this in my tank, which I was told was just a "leather coral" when I bought it. It's been doing just fine and has gotten much bigger, just like the other ones... but I don't know anything about it and it seems there are tons of "leather corals":
Anyway, any ideas here? More pictures? Let me know.
- Will
