i got these from lfs

i do believe the one is a star polyp with a sponge im not sure what it is. big yellow thing. sponge maybe?? 2nd one has a mouth like my candycane coral... 3 or 4 different ones that is though.... if its a coral can anyone tell me what kind please.

 

First pic is probably a sponge in the middle of Pachyclavularia (GSP's) .

Other coral is a Physogyra (bubble)

Please stop rushing. If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't have purchased it.

 

i wanted the star polyps and the lfs threw the other coral in as a buy one get one deal... the a.k.a sponge was a hithiker i dint know was there....i usually do research and read up on things before i get them...

 

Hi, I believe you may have a large colony of common "button" polyps with a few Green (hard to tell) star polyps in there. The other is a Bubble Coral. Be real careful with the bubble as any tear can result in infection. No excessive flow and make sure it won't rub against any rock.
As far as the little chastising from the other member.....it is impossible to know the state of mind of others and their expertise. From time to time we all make a purchase and then realize we need more info. Not to worry, if I was going to get a deal on coral like that, hey, I might have done the same thing.

 

I'm not chastising. I'm stating a fact. If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't purchase it. Me, and a lot of other people who have been around a while have put many resources out there for hobbyists to use. USE THEM.

 

as i am not working right now i probably spend 8-10 hours on this site reading different information.... remember guys/gals... some do read and take the advise of other hobbiest. and sometimes we get a good deal an take up on it...not everyone knows exactly what everything is and sometimes we get a hitchhiker or 2 we dont know about until later..... but thanks to those who have answered

 

Yes, yes.......as a writer, I have a somewhat adequate grasp of the language and my reference was to the second definition, the second word "Rebuke". I said; "little chastising" or for your benefit, little "rebuke" which is what it was. Rebuke: An expression of strong disapproval (Websters' Dictionary, 2nd definition). Seems I have been mis-read and some defenses have gone up. No need for that! Relax, I am here to help, learn, encourage and share experiences. Peace.
