First one is a cabbage coral.

Second one looks like xenia (long stringy with "fingers" at ends). Orange zoanthids and green hairy mushroom to right. Xenia doesn't look too happy, it should be more upright, try providing more flow (unless its new and still acclimating).

I thought it was xenia, but I thought xenia had larger "legs". The xenia is in a high flow area, but I turned the PH off for the pictures. The cabbage coral is kinda funny cuz we thought it looked like lettuce..... we were close

Thanks for the IDs

Since the pics are pretty crappy...try Googling "hydroids reef", and be sure that your "xenia" isn't hydroids. That would be bad.

After looking for some pictures, they definately look like xenia. I think ......... I've got to do some looking on how to get good aquarium pictures. I have a good digital camera but can't seem to get a good picture from it.
