I got these guys from the LFS but I don't know what they are. Can anyone help ID them?

This bluish-green one used to open up and be kind of like a big blob of jelly, but it doesn't do that anymore... kind of looks like it's going downhill but I don't know what it is and don't know what to do differently with it...

And with the picture links... I tried posting the "tag" of the photo from photobucket.com but that didn't work. Is there a way to have the pics come up on this site without having to use a link?

Thanks
 
1st - Pagoda - One of the easier kept LPS* (well depending on what type of Pagoda it is)

2nd - Trachyphyllia - Another LPS & again quiet easily kept*

* Given the right conditions that is :good:

Agreed on the Trachy. I dont recognise the first coral though. When the Trachy acclimatises, remeber to feed it defrosted BS, Bloodworms, cockle, squid, prawn etc regularly. :good:
 
For the Trachyphilia (the greenish one), what kind of tank placement should it have? High/low light/waterflow? I have had it for a couple months now and it is no longer puffing out like it used to. I was not aware that it had to be fed when I bought it and its mouth looking parts are not open anymore so that I can feed it. Any suggestions?

They should be placed in the sand bed in medium to low flow. They dont like High flow. If you havnt fed it for a while like it should have been, try moving it to a low flow area, wait until night and see if it extends its tenticles. IME its hard to feed a trachy that isnt extending anymore.
