Help! Need ID on coral and approximate market price

coralmoral · 02/05/2017, 07:15 PM

I have had a reef tank for years now not knowing the true ID of my corals.

Can you ID these corals/give me an estimate of market price.

Thank you so much!

First looks like closed Green star polyps. Second looks like trumpet or candy cane. Third maybe a type of brain Coral. And last night be a form of cup coral

The first I know for a face to be meteor shower, but I'm not sure which type or that type's general price. The last is Green eyed Chalice, but I'm not sure it's market price. The middle two I am unsure, but I think you're right with it being trumpet coral! The third, I still have no clue. Any idea on their market prices? Especially the first one, as it has engulfed an entire donut-shaped live rock.

Cyphastrea
Candycanes
Favia
Chalice, echinophyllia perhaps

That last one looks kind of like a Turbinaria IMO.

That's why I thought it looked like brain

I think you are right on the turbinaria/cup.

Third one is definitely a brain, just not an acan, but rather a favia.
