OK, I have had this tank with this stuff for 6 months and I am just now trying to find out what these are....LOL. I want to figure out what species they are so I can find out lighting, care requirements and correct placement.
Pic 1 is a Kenya tree I think.........
Pic 2 is some kind of mushroom....hard to tell from the pic but the little tentacles have bright green tips.....
pic 3 is also some type of mushroom
pic 4......zoanthids?




if anyone could tell me exact species it would be great

1 is taro tree coral
2 is lavender mushrooms
3 is common green mushroom
4 is paly or zoanthid
If I am correct does anyone know the scientific names?

1. Kenya tree (Capnella sp.)
2. Hairy mushroom (Rhodactis sp.)
3. Mushroom (Actinodiscus sp.)
4. Button polyp (Palythoa sp.)
Would be my guesses.

well I went to a few websites and looked at pictures...the 2nd picture looks like lavender mushrooms....it appeared that the hairy or fuzzy mushrooms had smaller thinner tentacles.
