    I have a brain coral(first pic) that I am not completely sure what it is. I also posted a couple pics of my other corals. There is also one I am trying to nurse back to health (if possible) second pic, I know its a lps but thats all I know. it was in a tank with very high nitrate and it did do well. now it is in my tank but not sure if it is too late.

    ok I think I got it, the camera had the pictures way to big....quick resize and now they work. now back to the original questions.
    these pics are now several days old. will post the pics of the corals from today next.

    1) Favia maybe? Whatever it is, it's hungry and looks like it might be bleached a bit. Please feed it. :)
    2) Can't tell. Looks like it was just placed in the system? Needs to expand for an ID.
    3) Yuma Ricordia. Looks fine.
    4) GSP (Green Star Polyps). Also look fine. Careful where you put them, they spread fast and can/will take over.

    thanks for your thoughts, to be honest, I dont believe the first coral is bleached. the lighting is very bright in that pic. other than the feeder tentacles (which are white) the rest is a much brighter peach color.
