Coral on live rock

sikemd · Nov 6, 2016

This is in a friend of mines tank on some live rock he got from LFS. Can anyone ID it?

They look like gummy life savers.

Looks like acans to me aswell
If they are that's one heck of a bit of rock he got , looks like a good few heads as well , there abit pale but should get back to normal with abit of love a care , tell your friend to try feeding them after lights out .. that should help them

Yes those are acan lords. Most likely some kind of orange striped acan lord. They look healthy and happy. The color doesn't look that great but that could be due to lighting or that's just the color they are. But they look happy.

Thank you for proper nomenclature :D
They do look bleached out. Might have not been getting enough light, or too much. They are a low light low flow kind of coral, but other than being bleached out they look good.
