[Reef-_-Noob]

At the lfs so can't change lighting

1st and last pics it's the yellow stick. 2nd pic is the coral in the corner

 

[EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal]

You're at the LFS... ask them?

 

[A Young Reefer]

the yellow stick is an anacropora, i am not sure what the second picture is

 

[Dburr1014]

I always bring a flashlight with me just for these occasions.
You said the second pick the one in the corner, I see Four Corners with four different corals, which corner?

 

[Reef-_-Noob]

Lfs didn't know. They are currently going thru a change of management but had some nice cheap pieces I'll post the haul in a bit

 

[Reef-_-Noob]

I think the corner is a ricordea

 

[Reef-_-Noob]

Got what looks like 2 baby torches, an alveapora and a yellow stick

 

[MoshJosh]

First 2 could be tonga torches. Third is an alveopora. Fourth. . . Monti of some kind?

 

[Rick's Reviews]

Firework clove polyp, others should be generally easy to I'd especially from a store, nothing exciting in my opinion :)

 

[Dburr1014]

Torches don't look to good, good luck with the new frags.

Why exactly don’t they look good?

Looks bone white, where's the flesh?
If it receeds anymore its going to pop it's top.

The "torches" look like they may be cristata...

 

[Reef-_-Noob]

Yes they do! My tank is almost at the 1 year mark. Everything I've been putting in is staying alive. Hoping these little guys grow up

I am fairly new and was so confused by these.. is it a baby? Is it really bad shape? These were my thoughts when I saw them. LFS was no help unfortunately

Also called a tonga torch. Tentacles are short and fat.

Any pictures of big colonies? Are they quick growers?

In my experience I found them to be hardier, no noticeable difference in growth.

Those are some nice colors. What do you keep magnesium at?

This is a picture from the internet I don’t currently have a picture of the cristata but I have a picture of this gold torch:

I keep Mg at around 1350
