Hello,

I have a bunch of coral in my reef .
I used to have names for most of them except the ones I got from Petco.
I no longer have that list of names with pics.

I'm trying to organize my reef and would like to track everything I have.

I have battlebox corals and they are named (for the most part).
I need names for the rest.

I'm reaching out to R2R for help.

Number 1 might also be some kind of finger leather, just going off the picture was a little tough!

#1 is a Yellow something.
It's actually a really healthy SPS.
It just got moved from one spot to where it is now for the pic.

I think bday1335 got them pretty much right.
If anyone else wants to take a stab at these corals names, please chime in!
