My LFS called it a "Duncan Opsomnia" but I don't think it's the right name,
because I can't find any reference to it. I'll post a picture in the next
couple of days.

Phil, those flowers are zoanthids.

mushroom leather corals

I have another one that I don't know the name of. It's like a disc of
small
stalks (each approx 1/4" diameter). Out of each stalk comes a "flower"
so
that the whole thing looks like a dinner plate full of small creamy
coloured
flowers.

Beginner Corals?
 

Marc

Please have a look at http://community.webshots.com/album/149890982jXnxRs

Photos 2604, 2608, 2609, 2610 show the unknown coral. The "flowers" are
quite large -- for scale, the male birdnose wrasse is about 6" long and the
large coralliomorphs are around 2" in diameter.

Photos 2616, 2621, 2622, 2623 show a superb piece of live rock, but I have
no idea what all of the rich growth is -- do you know??

You can see a small zooanthid, which is not looking terrific. It has some
large growths on its side which also look a bit like coralliomorphs -- do
you know what they are?

Thanks

Phil

Beginner Corals?
 

Those large ones do look much more frilly than zoanthids typically look. I
can't say.

That other growth could be a form of Xenia, but it also reminds me of
Anthellia. You might also compare it to Clove Polyps.

To be honest, I don't think I recoginized a single piece you asked about!

Looks like a Goni. If you have a look at my photos at

http://community.webshots.com/album/149890982jXnxRs

there are two Gonis in Photo 2582. The yellow one has stems similar to
yours. I have seen many varieties at the two LFSs that I use.
