I just purchased a bunch of corals today locally from someone for $120. Seemed like a good deal? (i have no idea cuz im a newb) He had a ton of coral, and like seriously 12 tanks in his house, all very professional setup a nice looking. It was like a store in someone's home. Thousands of dollars in corals and frags easily, including some very large chalice, etc.


Anyways, I don't remember the names of everything I bought since I'm new at this, so if you guys can help me out I'd appreciate it. Also whether they are leather or LPS or ?

#1
This first one I think is an LPS favite? Brain Coral?

I don't remember what this one is called, but I think it's a leather, and it glows VERY neon flourescent green, but then has little filter feeders that stick out.

I want to say this is an LPS, "encrusted montipora?".

I assume $120 for all that was decent? Compared to online prices anyways?

I'd consider it fair to good.
