Id all my tank prt 2 (18 items)

I posted yesterday asking for help ID-ing my corals etc, but my photos were pants so I was advised to retake them on the macro setting which I have now done. By the time I got to the tank last night it was lights off time and you couldn't see anything lol. So, here are the new set of photos with yesterdays replies tagged on for progress.

MADAMO:

1. Blue Ridge Coral
2. Cant tell from picture
3. Trumpet Coral/Candy Cane
4. Some Leather
5. Zoas
6. Gorgonian
7. Glove Polyps
8. Spahgetti Leather

10. Blue Ridge
11. Clove Polyps
12. Flower Pot Coral
13. Macro Algea

15. GSP
16. Zoas
17. Hairy Mushrooms
18. Gsp

ANEMONE:

Except 10 looks like a blue sponge. And 1 is way too blurry to tell for sure.

Kevin

DZEADOW:

1 almost looks like a devils hand, most likely a softie of some sort

1. Agree w/dzeadow, almost certainly a Lobophytum/Devil's Hand. IME blue ridge doesn't grow in that shape.

2. Probably Acrozoanthus/Stick Polyps.

4. Cladiella (finger/colt/cauliflower)

6. Maybe Muricea/Spiny Sea Rod. It's hard to ID a lot of gorgonians from pics (especially when they're blurry )

8. Looks more like Capnella/Kenya Tree to me.

9. Looks like Sinularia, maybe Nephthea or Lemnalia.

10. Definitely a blue sponge.

13. Probably Gracilaria/Red "caulerpa"

HTH,
-R

TRAVIS.L.STEVENS

1) Devil's Hand (Lobophytum)
2) Uknown; most likely Acrozoanthus
3) Candy Canes (Caulastrea)
4) Colt Coral (Cladiella)
5) Flower Pot (Goniopora) or Zoanthids
6) Gorgonian (Unknown)
7) Clove Polyps (Clavularia)
8) Kenya Tree (Capnella)
9) Christmas Tree (Studeriotes)
10) Blue Sponge (Unknown)
11) Clove Polyps (Clavularia)
12) Flower Pot (Goniopora)
13) Unsure; Red Grape Algae?
14) A pretty picture
15) Green Star Polyps (Pachyclavularia)
16) Zoanthids or Alveopora; I can't tell. Could even be Goniopora
17) Hairy Mushrooms (Rhodactis)
18) Green Star Polyps (Briareum)

Those are the best I can come up with given the quality of the pictures.

LANCER99

I think Travis nailed it on head, but.... 9 is almost certainly not a Studeriotes.

TRAVIS.L.STEVENS


Looking more closely at Pic 9, I think you're right. It isn't a main stalk with branches coming off. In the picture, even the branches are branched. It could be another Cladiella or similar Alcyoniidae.

Also, looking back at Pic 4 it could be a Sinularia.

Ok... PIctures... bear with me lol
