Hey all. I got a few frags yesterday from guy I got tank off originally. I was just wondering if you were able to help id them with any specific tips about them please? These are my first ever frags.

First one appears to be a toadstool/leather coral. Second perhaps a montipora? Third and fourth picture are green star polyp and Xenia respectively. They are all relatively easy, starter corals so just go slow and keep parameters stable and you should do fine. How long have you had the tank?

I'm pretty sure none of those are GSP. Either clove or xenia for the last 2.

I was thinking knopia for the last two shots.
But, alot of octocorals looks the same especially closed up, during tank transfer etc.
