    Hey Everyone,

    I'm hoping that all of you can help remind me what these corals are. I was told when I bought them but forget. Thanks so much for your help.

    Thanks for the ID! Take a look at the Favia. I had it on a shelf up tward the top of the tank.. There was a umbrella leather hanging over it (not touching it) wnd where the umbrella leather was providing shadow for the Favia the color looked great. Where the favia was getting direct light it looks like to coral started to take on more of a whitish look. I have since moved the Favia to the floor of the tank. Anything else I should do? Will the color come back?
