New corals + questions

[cpow88]

Hello,

This past weekend a got a feather star as a gift. I took it back the next day :( but picked up these two little guys. The first one is a ricordea coral i believe? The second one I am having more troubles identifying . Can anyone help me out? Any tips on what they like in terms of flow/lighting ect what also be appreciated.

and my shortly owned but crazy looking feather star...when it closes up it looks alien!

The second one is some sort of brain coral

The first looks like a Yuma to me and the second looks like a Lobophyllia.

+1. I have had a feather star before. Rather unique but did not live long. Kept getting picked on from my cleaning crabs and shrimp.

The round orange coral with green eye in the center, just under the blue fish, is a Ricordia. I bought one Ricordia about a year or so ago and now I have more than I can count. I feed them once a week with crushed pellets. They need moderate to high light.

They are correct -- ricordea and a brain coral. Good idea returning the feather star. They sure are pretty, but are not suited for our aquariums, unfortunately.
