Coral ID Please

[Cari]

Hello! Not sure I have the right forum for this...if not, i apologize. Didn’t see a general coral ID section.

The first one doesn’t look as good now, that picture was 5/10, seems brittle and has die off. There is still life to it, so I’m hoping I can revive it.

The second one is a softie, grows like mad, which I do like, it’s definitely a keeper. It would be helpful to know what these are for sure, experiences with them and the parameters they like.

Thanks!

Thank you! I was leaning towards gorgonian as well....didn’t know about the chalice. Any pointers on how to save the chalice??

Tank Parameters:

Calc 435 - Red Sea

Mag 1600+ Red Sea (both Red Sea and Salifert)
Nitrate - 2.0. Red Sea ( this was very high, recently used NoPox to bring down)

I dose 4ml per day of ESV B Ionic 2 part

How long have you had the chalice? I've got mine in medium light and flow. had a little die off early, but it grows like crazy now.

I’ve had it about 3 weeks

Also keep in mind Hollywood stunners are not friendly to neighbors

Yes, I saw a few sweepers out (a good inch) today! It has tons of room where it’s at. But the tomato clown also knocked it off its ledge twice today. She is soooo territorial and not helping the situation. I recently lost 2 frogspawn heads because of her. My corals biggest concern is the big orange beast, not tank parameters.
