    Hey Guys,

    I just inherited a 50 gallon reef tank from my brother. I don't have any experience with salt water fish, so I'm still learning a lot. Anyone know what these guys are?

    First one looks like a leather coral and the second looks like frogspawn or hammer. Welcome to the hobby, read as much as you can, theres a lot to learn and ask all you can here at 3Reef. Again.... Welcome aboard
