Pic is there...Did you click the link for the pic?
The coral was out of a healthy live tank...
They looked fine when I put them in I think its healthy polyps coming out for feeding... What do you think? Last edited by Metrontech; 03-22-2015 at 12:56 AM.

Not sure if it's as hardy as the Yellow and red corals/anemone'things
 but looks like you just added a "leather" coral, they're quite easy to keep and by transferring it it may just be going through a shedding phase. The white dots in your picture are spaced as though they are polyps, maybe not fully extended but nothing to worry about just yet. Give it some time to come around

Thanks!
I appreciate the response... Amazing how this hobby can keep a guy up at night
 Very new to this so the feedback is crucial I fed the new frags snow today, and that happened Hope they all grown fast and healthy When can I move them to a more permanent spot? The sand isn't that deep Thanks again! Mike

No worries
How old is your tank and what type of lights are you using... I tend to place new frags on the bottom, too much light and new water conditions can cause more stress and bleaching. Go slow, read lots and welcome to Canreef

Tank
I'm sure I will get all sorts of flack for this...
My tank is one month old... Probably too early for coral but I was eager and I have great water We will see...

Your tank isn't too young for the kind of coral I saw in that picture so long as you cycled it, but it is very, very young. To be on the safe side you should test for ammonia periodically over the next couple of weeks just to be sure and treat with prime or something if the test turns colour. Just remember - slow and steady wins the race!
Leather corals are a sadly over-looked coral these days. Small and new to a tank they usually look terrible, but when they are big and happy they are truly spectacular. but ditto - those white dots are a normal part of the coral's anatomy, the fact that they were poking out is a good sign. Google "Mushroom leather coral polyps" and you'll get a sense of what it will look like when they're fully extended.
