It a miracle i'm keeping this guys for so long now. So I'm now curious as to there names so I can learn more about them all I know is the blue one is from Australia. hopefully I will be able to frag them out in the near future as long as I don't kill them. I'm assuming its safe to say they do need to be feed, any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced guys:thumbsup:

The one in the back actually looks like a real Echinata http://sdmas.com/corals/26.php
The one in the foreground is Prostata http://sdmas.com/corals/26.php maybe a Milli

Acroporas don't really need to be fed. Proper lighting, good water flow, and balanced trace elements should be all you need.

Totally awesome to hear this I thought they need to be feed phytoplankton or other hard to get foods.
Now how about this guys, its started to show its polyps when I started the gfo reactor.

This guy I think is a red planet if I remember correctly.
I don't know what to do to turn him around, it was one of the nicest looking corals I had when I got it.

The green one looks like a slimer aka yongei http://sdmas.com/corals/81.php
The red does look like it is sitting on a ORA plug, so very good chance it is a red planet. http://www.orafarm.com/products/hardcoral/acropora/red-planet-table.html I have my RP at the top near the 400 watt radium lamp with lots of water flow. It should table, so keep that in mind when placing it.
