    Common name: Fire Coral, known for inflicting a nasty reaction when touched by divers and collectors. Scientific name Millepora although it's not what we commonly think of when we think of Acropora Millepora.

    I have been stung more times than I can count when diving in areas were it's prolific.

    Beautiful reef tank BTW.

    I can not ID the orange item. Possible sponge or tunicate not sure.
