    they almost look like Rose Coral - Manicina areolata. Did you buy these at a LFS or get them on live rock and they grew out?

    they are the same family, so they shouldn't sting each other. I would be afraid to separate that 2 that are connected. Big risk of infection or tissue damage. I would let them be personally. Great buy for 30.00. Looks very healthy

    I'd watch out for fish and game in Florida though. I wonder it the guy you got them from collected them himself.

    none of the corals are connected , when they are fully expanded one green one seems to overlap the bigger one. .. I guess if they re from the same family and wont sting each other , I am not going to mess with them.

    Supposedly he bought from a lfs and didn't have room for it in his tank, ive traded frags with him many times so i think thats y he gave me a good deal
