    more pics everybody is closed right now and is adjusting from the move, this probably wont be their permanent spot until i figure out what they are

    feels very fragile, i got some reef epoxy to hold my corals in place but i have to figure out how to use it i think i will probably have to put this one in a lower spot, probably too much light for it

    adds a lot of color already, i cant wait until it opens up

    I have an Idea... of what they are but with the bags on its hard to tell.

    What did we tell you about buying things that you dont know what they are?

    the pink softy is a carnation coral. known to be hard to keep and nonphotosythetic
    and the other is likely a goniopora

    edit: now looking at it, it could be alveopora

    i dont :( but ive got mysis brine bloodworms and other frozen that i cant think of right now. i've got it in a smal shaded cave right now, hopefully i will be able to keep it alive, but looks like i will have a hard time

    yea im thinking either daisy or clove polyps their starting to open still cant get a good shot and the other one is still closed but it's adjusting

    few more pics
