Frag Identification - Please help.

[therealkilo]

I bought a assorted frag pack and lost the identification slip. I am curious if someone can help. I want to know what they are for one, and then also so I can determine where to put each of these in the tank. i.e. water flow, lighting, etc..

Items 1, 2 and 5 look similar and have little green things coming out.

Thanks!

I'm going to guess 1,2 &5 ..Green Star polyps
3,torch
4 moon coral...Montastra

I think the torch coral is correct after looking at images and sites. Same for 1, 2 and 5 and them being Green Star Polyps.

Moon coral might be 4. Still looking at images. Anyone else?

Looks like water flow - medium and location lower?

I agree with the above post, star coral due to the (what looks like purple) base and close tube proximity. They should shoot out light green to neon green hands depending on the color of it. Also, #3 is without a doubt a hammer. Not sure on #4..

without a doubt a hammer?? I don't think so,I see torch.

yeah that was a bad.. I have no idea how I see torch, read torch, look at other pics of torch, and then I type hammer. Thats what a long day in material planning/supply chain do to my brain...:headwally:

Any ideas for these guys in placement in tank? They are in a 55 gal standard size. 48 Photon-W RB LED lighting (hopefully that is strong enough :| )

thats a torch and possibly pipe organs. I have almost the same setup as you, My torch does fine literally anywhere but I like to keep them high, mine love light. I'd put that moon placed mid-way and see how it reacts to your lights, and finally those star/organ polyps mid height as well.

My problem is that I have some "high light" corals bleaching out half way up my tank some montys and an acro can barely handle the LED so make sure you acclimate them. But in the end it pays off. ive seen HUGE growth in my acro in a matter of days.
