I am planning on offering these two corals up on my local reef club message board and wanted to make sure that I used the proper names of these corals.
I know that one is a type of brain and the other a type of mushroom...
Can you help?




Thanking you in advance for your help!~

IMO your brain appears to be a scolymia. I know that theres another kind of brain that looks similar to the scoly, but I dont remember its name, or the differences of both.
Your mushroom doesnt look like a mushroom. Im going to guess frogspawn?

Since the first coral isn't round, I'd have to say it's a lobophyllia, the shroom looks like a frilly shroom.

That brain is a PIG! If it senses ANYTHING in the water, even if I put my test tubes in there to test my water, his feeder tentacles come out! He LOVES to eat!~

My sun coral is the same way. My clown hosts it, and every time it comes by, the feeders come out with high hopes

Signs of a happy critter, I'll say!
