    the green looks like a ricordia or a mushroom pf some sort. and the other looks like zoas possibly. im no expert , so someone else can confirm or deny my guesses.

    the green looking mushroom thing has nearly doubled in size since its been home and the xenia is slowly starting to open.

    The only time I've ever heard of an "albino" coral it was an april fools' joke, be careful it's not just bleached and in rough shape. :)

    well 2nd day and was worried xenia wouldnt open but all I can say is damn that it likes the t5's and the water so im doign something right (knocks on wood) Also got my shipment from john on reefcleaners, A++++ service they went ballistic in my tank and started going after all the empty shells I think every single one switched shells. Heres a few pics of the coral fully opened now.
