Hi you all.

LFS barely sell quite limited options for marine fish and inverts. Forget about purchasing live rock or coral frags down here. I entered into SW keeping after reading around for about six months.

I have been carefully collecting macro-algae (e.g. red algae, caulerpa), mostly inert coralline rock pieces from the shore -some were truly alive ("spitted" by the ocean) with a few feather worms, chitons, keyhole limpets, snails and tiny crustaceans that have been populating the main tank, as well as an interesting coral fragment from the lower end in the inter-tidal zone. I post two pics of the species of coral I now have that I took from the shore (I stepped inside the ocean in a shallow area to take this pics). Hope you can help me ID this one, I haven't been able to find it in any of the picture galleries I've checked so far.

Thank you

Welcome to RF!

Are the corals soft or hard to the touch? If they are soft, then I will venture a guess, the first pic almost looks like closed up zoanthids?
