Identify these corals please.

[eyeguy]

I am long time reef tank owner. 1 @ home 1 @ work. Recently received three frags. I am far from a coral expert. Can anyone ID these for me?

I have a book in my waiting room called What's in the Tank?

I have all fish and snails and shrimp etc with photo and description.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you. I assume these are low maintenance " easy" corals. I also would like tool know if they require any special care.

Pipe organ is super easy just keep the detritus off it. The pectina is moderate care. Will need stable parameters to build skeleton. And the carnations are very hard to keep. They are non photosynthetic and require lots of fine foods.

Thanks again any suggestions on food for the Carnation?

Personally I've never tried with their reputation for poor survival. I would do some research and see what people have had luck with..
