well i had saved these from a fellow reefer who had neglected his tank for quite some time, not sure what some are, i'll number the pics and if you know what it its just chime in, also if you know flow/lighting requirements that would be great also.

continued onto next post
 
I'll go for the easy one. Looks like #7 is a Radioactive Green Dragon Eye Zoa.
 
very nice pieces.
 
1 is a blastomussa, cant tell if merletti or wellso
2 is acan lords
7 agree with above post
9 looks like frogspawn
10 looks like another acan lord on the rock, acan lord and red meteor shower on the rack
11 is hard to tell but looks like anthelia
14 is a really cool looking mushroom
 
1- blastomussa welsi
2 acan lord
3 scroll coral
4 duncan coral
5 galazia
6 rodactis mushrooms
7 zoas
8 porites maybe monti
9 frogspawn
10 acan frag
11 anthelia
12 carnation coral
13 and 14 are mushrooms


the galaxia needs moderate to low light and lower flow. hope for the best. if it starts to get brown jelly then dip it in a lugols solution.

alright so since i've got these and cleaned em up there is still some algea growing back on a few of them like the sps, scroll coral, mushroom rock, zoa/paly rock.. so i had gotten some peroxide today and was going to dip the paly/zoas and see how that goes but what do you guys think about the other corals i had mentioned? would you dip any of those in peroxide? im thinking i'll do about a 50/50 ratio. anyone have any suggestions? also would it hurt the scroll coral to brush it off with a tooth brush? will that damage the tissue at all? same with the meteor shower coral, can i brush that also? only reason i ask is because it looks to be sort of a brown color but im not sure if that was from it being in a neglected tank and like bleaching/lost its color and then algae growing on it? pic #10 shows what im talking about, its on the rack in the bottom right corner, its white on the left side and brown on the bottom and top, the white is where i had lightly brushed it when i had first got them with a tooth brush but once i started to see the white i got scared and stopped
 
nobody has any suggestions? alright, lets try this a different way, in the above pictures in my previous posts is there any of those corals you would NOT dip in peroxide?
TIA
