So I know one is the pulsing Xenia, and I believe the other is what looks to be like a chalice? How would I split them? They came home from the lfs when getting some extra live rock.

Привет. второй коралл — Дискосома. мягкий. их можно аккуратно разделить ножом/скальпелем. Животному никакого вреда не будет.
 
1) Definitely not an emergency - Unless one of those corals is talking and giving you the winning lotto numbers.

2) It looks like the 2 corals are held together by some hair algae. Why not just pull apart the hair algae and try to remove it before adding to your tank.
