Mine survived being out of water while the rock was delivered, survived winter-cold initial water, cloudy sediment, warmup, and a mild eventual cycle. Give them light and be kind to them and they may come through. They look like a discosoma, which is the type my survivor is, and nothing fazes it.

ok after some research and maybe im wrong they look florida or some sore of ricordia.. there is a bunch of them on one rock and i just hope they dont die on me. ammonia has dropped. nitrites are still up and so are nitrates. but there are coming out pretty strong.
