Hi all, new to the forums. So I just recently got a reef tank, but its used. So I really could use some help with some ID's as the owner was unsure. Any info on what they are, how, and what to feed them. I posted this in the soft coral forum but got zero responses. So I'm hoping to get more hits here.

#2 looks like a Kenya Tree or Sinularia
#3 is a Mushroom

Neither of those need to be fed if you are giving them adequate light (which they don't require much of)

Thanks for the quick reply. I am running 50/50's now, but may upgrade.

Why are you bumping this thread...
TheORKINMan is right.. kenya tree (first and second pictures) and a mushroom (3rd picture) and the last picture you can't tell without a better picture.

I re-read my post, I didn't mean to sound jerkish.. I was just confused.. sorry if thats how I came off.

I think the last ones are button polyps that have closed but really is hard to say for sure. In this hobby so many things look simular.
