    As the title says, I got 8 frags. I need help ID'ing them so I can research proper placement around the tank. He told me them all when he gave them to me, just forgot because there was so many of them lol. Pics are horrid, using galaxy s2 :(

    Thanks in advance!

    Zoanthid, Something dead, Palythoa, Euphyllia Ancora (Hammer Coral), more Zoanthids.

    What I would do is put all the Zoa's and Paly's close by eachother. They will make a cook Softie garden :) But the Hammer will sting and kill any other coral it touches, so put that only with other Euphyllia! e.g. Frogspawn, Torch.

    I agree, the acan/favia/blasto thing is bleached or dead. I would suggest placing everything low in the tank and allowing them to color back up. I would also considering cleaning the first frag disk. That's some nasty looking algae that may be a pain if it spreads.

    Well its definentaly not bleached, my camera sucks lol. Its like a hot pink color, in fact it spread and now there is another polyp thing LOL. Same with the third picture, looks white from the camera but is infact a bright light green. As you can tell im new to coral, don't know a Hammer vs Frogspawn except when I have a picture to refernce it too. Thats how I found out the 6th picture was a frogspawn and the others were hammer like you all said. Thanks for the IDs, I rearanged the coral to fit what you all suggested. Even removed the first frag from the disk and just glued it to a rock :D Thanks as always!
