    Here are some new corals I picked up last weekend at my lfs. The first one is my new hammer coral;D. Second is (I think) a clove coral:). And third is a candy cane coral but I don't think I got a good one. The guy at my lfs said I have to feed it. I tried but I think I'm losing it. Let me know what you guys think.;)

    The Hammer looks real healthy and happy. The Colt in that shot also looks good. Candy Cane can sometimes be a little fickle. Give it time. If it doesn't improve (although it doesn't look too bad) move it to a different spot.

    on feeding the candy cane coral, feed it at night, it's feeders aren't out when lights are on and I'd recommend either mysis or brine

    Thanks for the tips Iraf. I just tried brine with mysis last night.
