    It helps to know what kind of rock. But from looking at them I can tell it's most likely FLA rock.

    The last two have a common name of "cup coral" but I suspect some of the FLA guys will chime in with the proper names. They escape me right now and my library lives at work :lol:

    first pic looks like a colony of strawberry anemones(corynactis). maybe its just the camera but most colonies are pink but can definately vary in tone. not sure of the las two but it seems they are of similar species. maybe another type of anemone

    All three are stoney corals.

    Pseudocorynactis have many color morphs. The ATL ones people get on rock usually are clear with orange ball tips. The pinks & red typically are cold water species from the west coast of the US.

    Second ones I've heard called hidden cup corals. I know that if you spot feed it it'll thrive.
