    Got 2 more corals I need help identifying. Pic 1 is on the left edge of the rock and is tan in color and has one neon green spot the size of a pinhead. Another neon green spon is emerging on the other side. The second pic is something else. Any ideas please?

    Ive never seen a chalice with all those lines in it and as for the first pic it cant be a sponge it has bright green spots on it. I cant get a better pic sorry. I buy these corals from the lfs for dirt cheap b/c they have no idea what they are. If you look its on the far left edge of the rock you can see a small dot in the middle if the first pic. I cant get any true ID on these and it's driving me nuts.

    Pachyseris seems right for # 2 when I look at the pics. Thats a good ID I have never seen that before. It does have a greenish hue now and has doubled in size after 1 month.

    well the second one does look like a pachyseris.

    and in the first pic are you referring to the brown patch at the very tip?
