Top pic looks like a green rhodactis - Rhodactis spp.

Bottom pic should be a Black Sun Coral - Tubastrea micrantha

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

Rhodactis sp are supposed to be sessile. If they move frequently, it may be a mini carpet anemone (Stichodatyla tapetum)

This is the picture of my tank. Not really good in camera hahaa..Front view070bbb88.jpgSide viewc5bb2fdc.jpgAnother side view0cbd4c2e.jpgOne of my favourite loled4c4a4e.jpg

It's amazingly beautiful with a range of colours, great sense of space without overcrowding, and healthy lps and fishes. I wouldn't be able to overcome the temptation of stocking it up with more stuff.
