I went to Petco to take advantage of their $15 frags, and got four random leather corals and some kind of zoa. Could i get id’s?

My guess would be: 1--lobophytum 2: sarcophyton 3: Sinulara or Kyluxm 4: sarcophyton. As with all corals from petco they are in dire need of care. Since petco doesn't have coral lights in their system, most starve to death. I'd dip them in iodine (the kind made for corals) as well. That last sarcophyton looks a little sick and might have some tissue death. As for the Zoes...no idea. They're just zoanthus gigantus to me.

The one in the first pic was doing great yesterday but today is shriveled and greenish.

That's pretty common for leathers. You have to think of them as Emo teenagers they are very dramatic. Dip it and tell you you love it even though it's weird and no matter what the other leathers say it's not ugly and they're just jealous cause it has a prettier rock. ;)

Also playing some Nine Inch Nails does wonders for their attitude. :)
