1. Chalice, low-moderate lighting, medium flow. Feed small brine, cyclops, or filter feeder food

2. Looks like maybe a pagoda cup coral, medium light and flow, can feed brine shrimp and plankton

3. Favia Brain, medium light and flow, feed brine and plankton (at night when feeder tentacles come out)

4. Looks like an SPS, not sure

5. Clove polyps, medium flow and lighting, feed plankton and other filter feeder foods

Can someone tell me what this is? I really like it, I thought it was a zoa but I'm not sure it is anymore. the polyps really extend, and they can close all the way up

They are all extended now like the couple in this picture

That looks like a goniopora frag. They aren't usually sold on frag plugs like that. They are pretty difficult to keep and require feedings to stay healthy.

thanks biff what should i feed it

 

[Bifferwine]

Small foods like plankton and cyclopeeze. You can turn off the flow and target feed with a turkey baster.

One more qeustion, when im feeding everything do I need to try and feed each mouth or just one. I guess what im asking is is one mouth eats will it support the whole thing or just that one?

Give a little bit to each polyp that has a mouth.

"Colony Corals" Do share nutrients I believe.
