Two ID questions...

[hops523]

The first ID Ive already asked before, but I got a little better of a pic(but not much). Im still thinking maze brain, but I dont know.
The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pics are of a coral that I got today. I thought it was a pagoda cup coral, but could it be a goniopora? I got a good deal on this because as you can tell in the middle there was some die off. Hopefully they will grow back.

Second one is pagoda.

1st looks like a maze brain
2nd is a pagoda

 

[hops523]

Alright thanks. And with good parameters will the pagoda spread back to the parts that died on the rock?

 

[hops523]

BUMP, does anyone know if the pagoda will spread back to the parts that died off?

it might but usually when its this far gone and the coraline has covered the skeleton it wont. it might be a ood thing to read up on fragging them and see about cutting away those areas of the skeleton.

Alright thanks. Thats what I was thinking. Im sure I will be posting questions about fragging in this situation soon.

first is maze brain.

 

[hops523]

One of the only reasons I think its not a maze brain is because the ridges arent as "deep" as other mazes in pictures. And maze brains are hard when you touch them right?

Just a little update, I put a couple small pieces of mysis shrimp on the first coral. No tentacles came out, but the small mouths of this coral got the shrimp and started eating it. I thought tentacles came out of maze brains? And are mazes hard when you touch them?
