need help on unidentified stuff

[lsvagabond]

I got some new stuff at that sweet O' frag swap and two of the things I really dont know what they are or how to care for them. A lady I was sharing a table with just gave them to me before she left saying her fish kept knocking them over. Any ideas? I think the larger one might be done for as the color is getting lighter and there are bleaching patches that were there before but are now getting larger. help is appreciated.

Hmmmm...might want to ask pk1 about the one in the center. I am pretty sure that it is the same species as one that I picked up from him. We looked through a coral book at his house to ID it and I think we came to the conclusion that it was a Gemmifera. Does it have purple at the tips w/ a single polyp coming out from the tip of it?

menard would probably know what this is as well.

looks like Humilis or Samoensis

Are those all types of acros? any tips on what it needs to survive?

Yes they are . This species can be found on exposed reefs .Lighting is critical and so as flow. Good luck
