mystery coral need a ID

ok i have 2 pics

#1????????
#2 to the right of the xenia there is a small patch it has kind of neon dots under the moon lites and white/yellow under day lites

ill take and post some day lite some time today

 

#2 maybe a chalice, thats all I can say.

 

Can you take a pic with all the lights on? I can't really see enough detail to ID them for sure....

 

ok heres some with the lights all on

 

#2 looks like a recovering scroll coral or turbinaria, I wanna go with chalice on #1 but couldn't tell you for sure.

 

Yep, I'm with Calvin, #1 looks like a chalice. I have no idea on #2.

im not even shure #2 is a coral havent seen any polp extintion r anything but thats dusnt say anything

 

I was thinking the same but it has wrong growth pattern.

 

I feel this needs to be a contest with the winner to be decided when the coral gets a bit bigger and a more detailed picture can be taken haha!

 

(lmao ya i might do that and if it gets big bring the winner a nice size frag of it to the meeting)
i realy dont know if the one in #2 pic is a coral r not

 

Is the encrusting tissue on #2 soft or hard?

 

i checked this morning and it is soft

 

It looks like a wild type of Zoa the way that it is encrusting. It looks simular to the way star polyps spread just without the polyp extension. Did in come on the piece of rock?

 

ya it came on a piece of dead cup that the Xenia was on i bought both pieces of coral for 15bucks at Marine World
