Hello!
I finally made the plunge and bought my first corals. I bought 2 first (a zoa and a torch). They did well, so I got a few more. The guy at the LFS told me what they were, but I'm terrible with names :(

I know one is a ricordea, and one he called a "star" something or other (the one that looks kinda like grass). The last one I can't remember at all.

Also, the one I can't remember the name of has not opened yet (been 24 hours) - at what point should I be worried ?

Thanks.

Here is what i think they are in order
1.frogspawn
2.zoanthid
3.ricordia
4.candy cane or trumpet coral (both are same care because they are from the same family)
5.looks like a gsp-green star polyp can't really tell until open
As for your question, give the corals acouple days to open. IMO if they won't open in a week then start worrying.

Thank you! The trumpet coral is the one that hasn't opened yet. Everything else has, should I be concerned ?

EDIT: sorry, didn't see hossa81's reply, thanks!
