Who Gives A Fish Forums

Just got back home after a short trip and my wife had a lovely surprise waiting for me in the tank. Two new coral additions caught my eye - I'm pretty sure one's a type of torch coral, while the other looks like it might be a goniopora. I'd love some help identifying them so I can give them the proper care.

The larger one does resemble a torch, that's definitely possible. It's also possible it could be a duncan, the pic doesn't give me enough to say for sure.

The top one looks like elegance, but I'm wondering if it's individual branches or a single skeleton.

Gonipora and catalaphyllia seem like possibilities.

It's one skeleton.

I'd say it's an elegance, move it low or on the sandbed with gentle currents, feed a couple times a week. They can be tough to aclimate but once they settle in, they're pretty hardy.

Appreciate the confirmation, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear.
