Now that me TBS package is coming along well and colors coming back I have noticed a few corals and a clam that I thought was a rock. Maybe someone can tell me what these are.

I have several of these and the largest is 3" across

This is a hard coral of some kind, I did not realize it was living till i saw small opening taking in water.I have 2 colors of these that are coving large areas and its not coralline

This is a soft item that's about 1/8" thick

This a clam of some kind, I did not realize this until about 4 days after i had it in the tank. Its about the size of a tennis ball and is round. You can see the opening but there is no mantal.

Thanks,

Chris

First two pics are Siderastrea radians (aka lesser starlet coral).

Next pic is an encrusting sponge or tunicate of some sort.

Ditto next.

Last one could be clam, could be oyster. Definitely not turkey wing clam.

Heh. We got a bunch of those clams. They never open much more than that and I have always wondered just how claustrophobic they must get.

We got some of those clams from TBS too... haven't figured out what they are either?!? Ours don't have the living creatures attached to them like your does, but they more or less look the same.

First two are starlet corals (I got one with my TBS purchase). Not sure about middle two. The last one is some type of oyster (got several arrived on my rock).
