Coral ID please..

[silvermon]

Hi we got this corals when we went to the beach..
What coral is these? and are they still alive it's already around 3 weeks on our tank.
Do i need to feed them?

Looks like some kind of Favite sp. What part of the world are you in that you collected that at the beach?

Philippines

Lucky you! Yes I would say Favite sp. then. Tell us about your tank, equipment, other coral, fish etc.

hmm maybe in the beach again if we cannot find it in the petshop(Manila; need to travel by plane for around 1-2hrs) because there's no pet shops selling marine fish,water,etc even wave maker in our place! it sucks you know.

the white coral in the video looks like some kind of sps coral maybe table acro

and it sounds like you don't have enough lighting to keep that kind of coral

 

[wangotango]

The white coral is dead, so it won't be a problem.
