Here are some pics of my 50 gallon reef. I got my first corals yesterday. Can someone properly ID what type of polyps those are?

Anyways I'm having a blast with this hobby. I had a freshwater cichlid tank previously but it doesn't even compare to this.

Tell me what you think.

Here's my stock right now

5 green chromis
10 dwarf hermits
5 margarita snails
5 turbo snails
2 nassarius snails
2 emerald crabs

I plan on getting another small fish in a few weeks.

I'm no coral expert but my guesses are

mushroom
zoanthids
green star polyps
feather duster

Oh and I love your school of chromis.

I've had a few of them too, including red ones and little itty bitty ones.
