Need ID for Corral On Live Rock

[OVreefer]

Purchased some rock from a LFS main tank they had just broke down. Can anyone I'd these corrals.

Top pic looks to be some sort of softie, like xenia. Second looks to be a pocilipora, beginner sps...

That first one might be some type of Gorgonian.

 

[mkutsch]

Second is birdsnest.

 

[mkutsch]

First is unknown, Coastie is probably right.

 

[Coastie Reefer]

Does look somewhat like a birdnest, but they don't encrust, so I'm more inclined to say pocilipora. Care requirements are basically the same though. Decent light and flow, but doesn't need to be pounded by either.

 

[mkutsch]

Oh, you're right! I missed that-- but if it survived shipment and hitchhiking, well, how is there even an acro that can...?

 

[Roboson]

Mat gorgonian and pocilipora.

 

[mkutsch]

Mat gorgonian! Haven't heard of that one before.

 

[mkutsch]

But gorgonians are like super temperamental,though...

Here's the facts:
1. xenia for sure
2. green polyp orange stylophora. This form of birdsnest DOES encrust.

 

[mkutsch]

Yep, dats rite!

Google encrusting gorgonian. I have a bunch in my tank. Looks just like that.

Stylophora is stylophora. Birdsnest is seriatipora...
