(Backstory: I work at a store that has a small selection of saltwater fish. For some reason someone decided to order a selection of coral frags for one of our tanks. I NEVER order corals for our store because none of our tanks have different types of flow or strong lighting. Of course, a week later the corals are dying. I took home the two that seemed like that had any chance of redemption because the store let me have them for free.)
Now that they're starting to get color back and they're no longer brown and completely dying (they still don't look too hot but better than they did initially) I'm beginning to think I don't know what corals they even are.
At first I thought they were kenyas when they were all shrunken and dark, but now that they're opening slowly I'm not 100% sure?
Coral #1:
Coral #2:
Of course whoever did the shipment didn't label the corals in the tank either. I'm normally good at identifying but I wanna make sure I'm right on this so they get the proper lighting and flow.
They're still super closed up so it's hard to make any definite identification to me.
Any thoughts?
