Some new occupants I picked up today
Blue Hippo Tang
Red Scooter Blennie
Pagoda Cup Coral? sold as Giant cup coral, is closed up in picture but opens up real wide & flat w/little nodules on face and has "mouth" in center that currently looks like its guts hanging out it - expelling waste or a concern?
Unidentified coral - listed as colored sand polyp?
everything is in the middle of drip acclimitizing.
I would appreciate help identifying the coals for sure.... :thinking:

The first one is a plate coral. Put it in the sand with med/high flow. I can't tell what the others are, post pics when they are in the tank and open.

the closed one looks like my hairy mushroom when closed but it could look totaly different when opened.

First one looks like elephant ear and second deffinately green plate coral...one question though why did you acclimate all of them in the same tub? Did they all come out of the same tank? Just asking..

Prob shouldn't have done them in the same tub but was pressed for time and yes they all came out of the same tank.
Any ideas on feeding of these two corals? Light only or do I need to supplement.

Well if they came out of same tank, shouldn't have any problems. The elephant is a mushroom, if thats what it is, sure looks like it to me. You can just feed it frozen food, small pieces..the plate coral feeds at night. I have given mine reef chili. It seems to like it, other than that just light. They will expand with water to move if they are not happy in a particular spot..mine hasn't moved so I think it's liking where it is.
