    My tank has matured and i added my first corals.

    It was a frag clump attached to each other and a piece of what i took to be a leaf.

    Anyone with experience wanna give me an id on what i got and what i have to do to keep it alive?

    Some sort of shrooms some kind of colony of zoa? And a tree...

    M hoping that it will migrate away from each other and onto my rock.

    I jelled the clump to a piece of rubble and wedged it into a hole on the rock . Medium exposure to everything

    The tree looks like a Kenya tree or a nephthea. They do well without direct feeding, just good water quality and they will pick up nutrients from the food and fish waste.

    I think i can see a nicely coloured bluey/purple mushroom there too! All very easy corals to look after and should grow quite well!
