    We have this great red coral that I managed to bring back from the brink of death but I don't remember what it was called. Anyone know?

    It looks like a lobophylia with it's feeding tentacles out.

    Great! Thanks for the help. I hand feed it shrimp, clam etc... With all it's tentacles out it is a really awesome sight.

    That's a sea cucumber in the front.....odd looking but quite the vacuum cleaner.

    Yeah, more than likely a lobo. Now that cucumber will get pretty big. I have 2, one that same kind and it was about 2" tops when I got it, and now it is a good 8-10 inches long.
