Coral IDs

The first one is some type of leather. Maybe a toadstool?
The second are Zoas, but I don't know the name. They have a pink mouth with an orange skirt.

Yep toadstool leather in pic 1 ( a nice one too) and zoa's in the second pic.

The first pic is some type of encrusting coral. The matt is a light lavender/blue and the polyps are orange. It was a hitchhiker on a frag of gsp. I would really like to know what it is. It looks like something that my LSF sells for $40 per square inch.
The green dudes were in a hole in the rock and then one day they came out. Are they some type of paly? Anyone know what kind?

Perfect Dark,
The fact that its polyps are out like that is good? I was afraid it was stretching to get more light.
I may be able to get a less crowded pic later. I just fed the tank and my hermits think that rock is their dinner table!

Rebel,
That is too cool! It started out as a little sad looking spot on a gsp frag. I cut the rock so it could be in a more lit place than my gsp and since then it has tripled in size!
I LOVE this hobby. It's like Christmas everytime you look into your tank!

Polyp extention is good, it is filter feeding. Polyp stretching is a sign of it possibly looking for more light. I dont think yours is stretching.
