No idea what these are..

Hi there,

I bought a second hand fish tank with limited life. Which seems to be flourishing but I cannot identify the species.

I have consulted with my local message board but no one seems to be able to identify it by species though.

I was hoping someone might recognize it here, so I can read up on how to properly take care of the little things. With regards to stream and lighting etc.

Thank you beforehand

And perhaps these polyps behind the rock as well?

Ok, seems to look pretty much as the google pictures when that name is searched.

Thank you kindly.:thumbsup:

You are very welcome. I might venture to say that the palys would "green up" with a little more light. When I started out, I had some that looked like that under caves, but were green with a rust colored rim when lit better

Perhaps, these were in awful state when I got them.

This was taken a week before, when I set up the 2nd hand tank again.

I was worried it was already dead, but it seems to have recovered. Now I will try and make it thrive.

Judging by your first pics, they are happy. Keep up the good work and they'll grow like mad for you!
