@Cook donated this for the raffle, I can't remember what it is.
The 2nd pic is of 2 corals that were gifted, I know one of them was from @aestheticlibra and is some sort of anemone, the other one is encrusted onto a piece of black egg crate (front left).
The 3rd one I'm not sure who it came from (sorry )
Everyone told me the names but I didnt write it down and should have because the old brain ain't what it used to be!

First picture is a cyphastrea, or however you spell it, the one from @aestheticlibra I believe is the green hairy mushroom, the third might be a neon green Monti.

 

[Shawn]

Correct. I gave @NanCrab neon green monti, green star polyp, and hairy mushrooms. The colony that @Cook donates was cyphestrea, and I think it's a bizzaro cyphestrea - blue tissue with red polyps - an encrusting sps.

 

[NanCrab]

Thanks guys! How do they look?

Great - polyps are open and look good

2 questions - what do you have for light over it and do you have any flow in that tank?

 

[NanCrab]

The cyphestrea looks dull under the blue light, shows up better under white. He told me it was once beautiful but lost its color. The polyps arent fully open. He said he thought it was under too bright of lights. I just have a cheap-o led above the QT and I have it near the bottom. Going to start giving aminos in QT to make sure they are happy and healthy for the transition into the DT.

Cheap LED. Going to mount one of my Noopsyche K7's above it and program for better range of light. Yes, I have a power head
I'd post a video but it wont let me

Cool cool. You're doing it right I'll be buying quite a few noopsyches soon enough...

Also; Cyphastrea coral can handle and often prefer lower levels of light. Just FYI, when you are deciding where to put it

I have it on the lowest shelf of my frag stand

 

[Cook]

It's meteor shower Cyphastrea. It was part of the frag demo last march that members got for the grow out contest. I believe it was from @FutureInterest 's collection and yes too much light in my tank now.
