Hiya :) Setup looks great :) On your way to a nicely filled tank!
The clear "anemone" is a cup coral
The others are mushrooms.. but I don't know the specific names.. I say check out a site like www.liveaquaria.com or a specific coral id site
Good Luck :bounce3:


BTW: WELCOME TO RC!!!

The cup coral is a filter feeder. They are mostly harmless.. some can have a sting to them, but usually do not bother anything :) I have 3 big ones in my tank and they do not cause any harm.. they are reef-safe

There are also Bulb-tipped Anemones that are similar to cup corals.. those pack a sting and can be dangerous to fish and corals. The tipped anemones are usually orange in color.. do a google search to see some pics. I'd show you mine, but they don't show up to well :) They also usually don't last too long in home aquariums. Although.. mine have been around for months lol

i am leaning more tworads the Bulb-tipped Anemones because it try to sting anything that come near it including me. didnt think the the cup coral would sting tho i might be wrong. wouldnt be the first time.

Looks like a corynactis anemone. It looks like you have a mixture of rhodactis and discoma mushrooms.

I have some corynactis myself. Also look up jewel anemone (same thing).
