Does anyone know what kind of coral this is? It came on my live rock and I think the guys at my LFS thought it was dead but its not. I only paid like 10 bucks for this piece.

I took these pictures a couple days ago. Cleanup crew is in. I got 12 red leg hermit’s, 10 astrea snails and 2 Mexican turbo snails to start off with. I’m planning on a doing a water change at the 2 week mark since the tank has cycled already. Then I will be going for a new fish. After that I will probably not doing anything for the next month except make sure everything stays stable. I’ll post another update in a few days.

Day 4 and the tank is looking pretty good. I checked the water parameters last night and they are as follows:
ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
ph: 8.0 (I added some marine buffer)
nitrate: 5-10
I took some more pics of the live rock. I think the store gave me some live rock that has coral growing on it. I think my LFS thought it was dead coral but the polyps are popping up under the moonlights every night.

Here are a few new pics taken yesterday. I re-arranged the live rock a little bit and removed the blue background. I think the tank looks a lot better better this way. Anyone have any comments on other cool stuff I could do?

Setup my tank on Saturday. The images were taken in order from when I started on Saturday until now.
New Tank Setup is going to be a 37 Gallon FOWLR. Let me know what you all think. I will keep posting pictures and the tank progresses. read more....
