What kind of Leather Corals are these??
Hello everyone! I recently recieved some live rock from a friend who was breaking down his tank. The rock has 4 or 5 leather corals on it and he had no idea what kind they were. I was just wondering if you guys could help me identify them. Here's two of them...



Thanks for your help!!
