    |  coral id needed This first one a guy gave me for free a few months ago (thanks again). It was the size of less than a dime. Now it is bigger than a fifty cent piece.  And this one my son was just dying to get on Sunday so of course I bought it for him.   Thanks for the identifications in advance. |

 | The first one looks like either a chalice coral, but the polyps look a bit different, a cup coral as already mentioned or some type of cyphastrea. |

| The first one is a chalice in the Echinophyllia family, the peice I have was bought as a green eyed chalice. The second coral is a Clavularia species one of is common names is neon green clove polyps. Here is a picture from one of the sponsors. Tritons Garden - Green Daisy Glove Polyp |
