I believe the second pic is a leather toadstool. Hard to tell from the pic of it but from the last pic of the tank that is what I think it is. I have one in my tank. Good luck with the tank I hope you don't have any problems.

Tank looks great and I would say that well if it works for you great, but I cant help but feel that with 2 tangs in the tank it may only be a matter of a time before they need a bigger tank.
Thanks for the great pics,
Tim.

Believe me, I am not adding any more stuff in my Tank.

The tags are still babies. You will need to either give them back to the LFS when they get bigger, or get a tank about twice the size. You are way overstocked.....you may get away with it in the short term, but in time you are asking for problems. Lesley

Actually u can even put 4 tangs and 10 more gobies in this tank too, if u have an excellent ps and a sump but thats not the point... u r making ur tangs and fish unhappy and also making them short-lived also dwarfs. Actually for my 65 gal i was thinking 1 tomato clown, 1 marine betta and 1 coral beauty. Cuz fish needs to swim
"I am not trying to be harsh at all i'm just trying to help the fish u have out with having torture due to extra over stocking"
Good Luck

The yellow tang may be ok but the surgeonfish won't they get big! IMO you should take the blue tang to the lfs or get the credit card out and get a bigger tank.
Other than that the pics look great!!!
