Please help me to ID these corals?

[wesamazmy]

I have got this coral before week ago, the store told me as its a Brain coral, I searched a lot on the internet and I found the Brain is totally different in shape (or I didnt find something similar), I tried to feed it frozen shrimp, brine shrimp but it didn't show any reaction to eat! I know the brain is easy to feed! so please help

The second one is a soft coral still in the store and I want to buy it because I dont have a red color in my aquarium and I assume it will be a good added! I dont know if its a Kenya Tree or not, so could you please let me know the ID of it and if there is any advice about it (easy to keep..etc)

I will give it a try.

Picture one looks like a donut or scoly coral - Similar to a brain.

picture two looks like a carnation coral - I believe they are low light and need to be feed micro food. A hard coral to keep alive.

1st one is acanthophyllia deshayesiana (aka doughnut, meat coral), it's also been classified as cynarina. 2nd one is dendronephthya, very hard to keep. They usually wither away from lack of proper food.

Any idea about how to feed the donut coral, it's not responding?

You could try cutting a plastic 2 liter bottle in half and place this over the coral. (nozzle facing up) Drop a small piece of shrimp or scallop on the coral & just wait. The bottle should keep any fish/invertebrates from stealing the food while it will also keep the flow to a bare minimum. (so the food will stay put)

Thank you, good idea!
