New Corals

This week we got three new soft corals in the mail. They seem to be adapting pretty well to their new surroundings. One of them arrived covered in a lot of green macroalgae (looked like a bunch of green hair), but the tank cleaner crew (ie. the crabs) took it upon themselves to clean it off right away. They ate away all the green in the first day, so now we can really see the coral itself pretty well. That one is purple and covered in little nubs that open up during the day to extend a bright wavy arm. We also have a plate coral (which has little extendo-tentacles as well and it bright green), and another one that I don't remember the name of (but I can tell you it is bright pink). We will post pictures soon.
