The third one looks like Euphyllia ancora (hammer coral) or it's a frogspawn, but I'm thinking hammer coral.

#1 & 2 look like Colt Corals, #3 is either a hammer coral or frogspawn (both LPS).

a couple of leathers and hammer coral. Where did you get them that you're unsure of their ID?

They can keep growing till all space is covered. The colts are easily trimmed back with shears/scissors and can be sold to your LFS for store credit. The hammer can be fragged, but you will need to use a pair of coral clippers.

No, you can throw a leather in a blend and blend it into a thousand pieces and dump it in your aquarium and you will have a thousand frags a month later......


ok ok thats a slight exaggeration but they are close to that durable. I just use surgical scissors (any small sharp pair will do). You can just gently rub the coral until it retracts all of the way then take the scissors and snip off a piece from about anywhere. I use a small dab of gel super glue to attach them to frag plugs or empty snail shells.

+1 for sure, may i ask what your parameters are and some system information?

I know it's not what you're looking for, but my guess would be a blue bouncy ball with eyes and waving it's hands.
