This is my first coral in my tank. I saw it at Petco and it looked sad, with maybe only 10 polyp arms out. I felt like I had to save it, so I added it to my tank probably earlier than I should have. However, it looks like it’s doing great. All polyps are always out and it already closed up for 2 days and shed its skin. I was wondering if any of you toadstool pros out there could give some advice. Does the flow look ok? Idk what par it’s getting, but should I move it up higher on a rock to get more light? Do you feed them anything specific? Also, can anyone tell me what kind it is? The end of the polyps look bright green with blue lights. Thanks in advance.
Scooped up 4 new corals today!!! Letting them acclimate today and tomorrow will get them into their final positions after I do some research on best placements.
I know I got GSP, a type of Zoa, type of mushroom, and not sure what the tall tree looking one is… finger leather?? Can anyone ID these? Thanks!
I've started adding corals. Picked up a Green Splatter Hammer. Would love help IDing a chalice frag, a mushroom and zoa. Dipped and placed. Hope they start to flourish.
Does anyone else know if fish peck at coral that could be potentially dead? Just moved the blue ridge coral to a more front position in the tank. The part getting picked at was more shaded in the back of the tank before.
I have some space on the back of my aquarium for coral what coral do yall recommend or would put there
I think a soft coral such as firework clove polyps or pulsing Xenia would look awesome on the back wall. For something tall with structure, I think some sort of toadstool leather would look awesome

Great pick ups. Those are $PeopleEater zoanthids. The red coral is an acan not sure if that is the one you were calling a mushroom.
Any suggestions on what corals to add next? Trying to fill some rock space. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Yes some fish will eat coral. Is damsel the only one doing it. Although considered reef safe that particular damsel will peck at corals. And sometimes they just eat algae off of it or bugs
I’ll be finding a new home for the bubble coral soon since it’s taking over my tank.
That bubble coral is defs bossin the space lol gotta love those bright colors tho
Added this elegance coral on Saturday. Does it look like it’s doing well? Good flow? Newb here any help is appreciated
No it's not doing well, if it keeps forming and/or excreting mucus, it could be dying. Below information might help you out: https://www.saltwateraquariumblog.com/elegance-coral/
