    Ok so I just got my LR and LS from a guy that was getting out of the hobby and was wondering what two things are. I realize that there is a lot of algae look past that I just have not had time to clean it up. Ok so the first one looks like a white fungi on the rock, I did get this from another guy so some coral was living on it but now it is dead and the white fungi is where that dead coral was. So the white fungi is 2157, 2162, 2163. I am not sure what the 2168 is please if someone knows what it is that would help out alot. Thanks.

    Looks like sponge and some type of polyps. A better pic of the last one we could probably give you a better id. Can you ask the person you got it from what they kept in their tank? Looks possibly like green star polyps, clove polyps, anthelia.......

    I would but that good of a picture took me about 20 pictures... They are very small I think that is the best it is going to get. So I have no need to worry about the last picture? Also I do not have to worry about that "white fungi"?

    *EDIT* Oh and thanks glad to be here!
