Hey Everyone

I decided to set up my first saltwater tank. It has been running for about 8 months now. Soon I will be upgrading my tank and will be using this current tank as the sump so I have been lazy with keeping the glass squeeky clean :p

Current inhabitants:
Clownfish
Coral Beauty Angelfish (He was in the store tank with a pufferfish and I noticed he only had one eye, assumed it was nipped at by the pufferish, so I got him for half price :D)
Six-Line Wrasse
2 Blue chromis

Corals:
Green Star Polyps
Clove Polyps
Red Mushroom?
And some various others that I hope can be Id

The only corals that I purchased were the green and clove polyps, the rest came with the LR that I bought. Here are some pics

I am no expert but the random polyps look like white zoanthids, and the other unknown coral looks like a closed brain coral.
Lovely tank,
Kevin
 
Not sure about the white polyps... are you sure they're alive??? Pure white polyps like that generally means the coral has bleached out.

Yes mushroom.

Yes, agree on the brain ID (Likely a Favia)

And the last one looks like zoa polyps.

Nice corals there :good:
 
Yup the white ones are definitely alive. I first noticed them after they started popping out a few days after the rock was put into the tank. They retract everytime I clean the glass near them then come back out after so I'd say alive
