New Corals

Any chance these will make it? just got them in today from a trade, excellent fellow to deal with. but here is the coral, 2 of the 4 are in pretty bad shape.

These two were surprises and are doing great! I have no Idea on what they are, but cool none the less.

Now this coral continues to grow out, it was a doa a while ago, now that it's getting back to life, wondering what the heck it is.

did it look like that when you got it or after you dipped it? Sorry to break the news to you, but those are mostly gonna be a gone in a few days..

Corals are very resilient!! Give em a shot as I think they can pull it!! -That last coral looks like an echinophyllia..

I'm hoping that they will make it, I wanted red planet, I got red planet, but now it's dead planet! hopefully it'll bounce back.

I would frag off the best looking small branch (1" or more). Hopefully in case the rest of the larger piece turns further south, you can still have the frag that will survive. Best case scenario, you end up with 2 frags! Worse case, well you might have been going there anyway.
