    Could any one give a proper ID on the two newest corals added. I was told by the LFS they are from the Caribbean and they were corallimorphs. Are they mushrooms or something else. Thanks for any info.

    The first looks like a bubble. The second it's hard to tell. I can't see if the polyps are extended or not.

    Does the first one have a skeleton or is it a soft coral?
