As a few of you know, I won clownsandcorals.com's facebook drawing. The prize was 100 dollars worth of free coral (7 in all), needless to say I was quite excited, the coral arrived but I didn't have any chemical additives at the time (they were ordered) so I had my lfs baby-sit for three days or so. Since the additives showed up today, they are finally in my tank! :bigsmile: I drip acclimated them this afternoon and just took some pictures. Sadly they are iphone pictures but they are still adequate nonetheless. I could use some help IDing them so if you know what they are please let me know :) thanks! and thanks again to clownsandcorals.com!

(p.s. these corals will not be staying in my 10 gallon, I will eventually put them in my nano in 90 entry)
(and yes, I made a rookie mistake and used black sand, don't hate lol I still like the look, its just dark)

This coral is amazing looking not even half the vividness of the color actually showed up in the picture

I know the ones on the left are Duncans (I think)

I know the bottom on is Frogspawn, it has great color, just didn't show up real well in the picture. :/

Just curious, but what chemical additives did you have to get to before the corals went into your tank?


1. Montipora confusa? - looks like favia or micromussa behind it tough to tell
2. acan echinata
3. favia
4. duncan and candy cane
5. frogspawn looks bleached out (just the pic?)


Congrats on the win. Always nice to get free corals :)

I got some magnesium, calcium/ph buffer, and some iodine, I got some sort of "biofuel" too? but I can't use that until I get a protein skimmer (according to the directions)

Thanks guys, I'm quite impressed with what clownsandcorals came up with, I mentioned that I wanted a frogspawn and they followed through perfectly, I highly suggest them :)
