What are these corals and how do I place them feed them and how often what flow and placement ?

[Crabs McJones]

First, you really should research before you buy. Knowing what your buying can insure you can provide the proper care. A little planning goes a long way in this hobby. The first pic is not a coral, it's a tridacna noae. High light and stable parameters are a must.
2-trachyphyllia
3-hammer coral
4-gorgonian
5-toungue coral
The LPS require medium light and low to medium indirect flow.

This x1000. You should always research before you purchase a coral, or the percentage of it dying on you increases dramatically.

How old is your tank? I don't see a lot of algae.

Be careful with "feeding" corals. If your tank can't process the extra food you can degrade water quality which is usually more the problem than nutrition with corals. You also look to have a pretty substantial fish population. Feeding them also feeds the corals.

Oh alright thank you yes so feed corals less with lots of fish ?

As has been mentioned: How old is your tank?
What size tank?
What lights & how are they set?
What’s in your sump?
What are your parameters? (Alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate, etc.)
Do you dose anything?

The gorgonian is not photosynthetic so it will require feeding (Reef roids or BRS Reef chili is my go to). The tridacna noae is beautiful and looks ok so far. More light more betta’ for the clam. The trachyphylias looks like they are very, very unhappy. In one of your photos the smaller one was placed up against what looked like a bleached anemone, so that might have damaged it. Was it puffy/happy in its old tank? The darker/larger one looks like it’s dying so take immediate action like feeding 3-4 days a week, moving it out of direct light (they only need like 50-100 PAR), and make sure no fish in your tank are nibbling on them. Hopefully that helps. Everything else looks ok, but I might move the elegance coral down. They don’t require a lot of light.

Tank is almost a year .
I’m fairly new to all this but pretty good . Getting better
Oh gosh thanks wish you were here I will do everything you said to the letter .
Tank is a reefer 525 xl
In my sump is seachem biofilter media

Few peices of live rock and my skimmer
Yeah that was an older picture taken of the Trachy I moved the anemone immediately The bta has coloured up since then
And I dose only calcium atm
Nitrates were high at 40 but I since have brought them down to 20
All other Params are good

This seems to be worldwide,LFS doesn't know ! I have to say they look a lot better than the 1st pics shown .

Oh The foxface looks skinny ! Can you get dried algae sheets ? There isn't enough algae to keep this fish alive.

Dubai is really bad it is awful for this Hobby the expert at the premier lfs once told me add corals before the cycle it’s better. He told me not to do waterchangesamd that he didn’t do any . Lots of stuff there is no knowledge base here . That’s just how it is oh he is Chinese btw

I wouldn’t rely on any LFS for information. They’ve been known to provide false info, not just in Dubai, it happens all over the world. Learn about corals beforehand instead of relying on someone else. Only way to be certain. What does being Chinese have anything to do with this???

 

[Mikedawg]

And what is the coral top left flower pink thingy ? What is it

Clove polyp

Maybe someone on here knows of him I don’t know any other way to identify him
