ID of Corals

Hello i picked these up today from a friend and we dont know what types of coral they are or if they even are coral! Can anyone help me ID please?

 

The first two pics are hard to id and the third pic needs to open first. The 3rd pic could be either a Zoa or Button Polyps.

heres another picture

 

FIrst 2 pics.. Going by the purple ends and some bumps on the coral.. "looks" like GSP Green star polyps..

Second... Well like Luna said 1 of 2 things Zoa's or button polyps.. time will tell with thoes to see what they open up to..


BEst of luck..

 

+1 on the GSP and either Zoanthids or Palys

Not sure if you have noticed but there seems to be a very accurate archer in your reef tank, if you look closely you can see a red arrow heading towards the corals you wanted to be ID'd

Id try and locate the cuplrit and then relocate this wannabe Robin Hood to your sump
possibly an Arrow crab?

LOL

You had me going there for a second. I looked back at the picture hopin to see a weird crab..... I said " what the hell is this guy talkin about?".
Then I hit myself in the head and said "too many beers tonight".

 

I thought the same thing, but GSP has a deep purple color, which by the pic, looks like a very lite color. Its hard to tell. He may need to wait a couple more days so the coral can open up.

Possibly Briareum

Best of Luck ...
