Here are the pictures. I really don’t know what type of coral they are either. But they aren’t growing and I understand that it takes a long time but they’ve also been turning grey. Thanks for your help!!

one looks like a montipora to me(the small one), not good at corals but it looks like a montipora

Welcome my young whipper snapper! I do love my rather pugnacious Ocellaris clown even though he bites me at minimum once a day lol. I'm seeing lots of the good algae growth in your setup and a good bio load of fish. Best luck and don't be afraid to ask anything at all in this forum.

Soak up the knowledge. You’ll learn something new almost everyday. Wish I knew about this forum when I started my first reed 12years ago. Would of saved me multiple headaches.

Hi everybody! I’m a young (16 in December) newbie here. My dad did a lot of freshwater tanks, but this is both of our first time doing a saltwater tank. We have a 32 biocube. (Side note: yes we are probably overstocked my dad likes getting new fish a little too much even though I say we have enough and loves to get them without doing much research!) We have a fire clam (hard to keep yes I know! Refer to side note) 4 orange ocellaris clownfish and one black and white one. Again I know not recommend but they really do seem to get along besides some problems I’m having with my black and white one. I’ll start a new thread on that one. 2 blue chromis. A diamond goby. A royal gamma. A purple firefish goby. Lots of snails and hermies. 2 Feather dusters. A coral banded shrimp (he’s getting way to big!) Two coral that I have no clue what they are and possibly dying? A little duncan with 3 heads(for lack of better word) and a hammerhead coral. And an orange sponge that is probably dying. And lotsss of questions. I’m really looking forward to all of your advice and help!
