Default Can you help me identify these corals?

I bought corals from GARF, www.garf.org. I'm very happy with these
and for $99 you get a big selection but of course they are small plugs
but will grow. Most I was able to identify but there are 4 I can't.
I have taken pictures of all 4 and picture #3 of them actually has 3
separate corals on it, one on the left that kind of looks like xenia
but I'm not sure if it's that or anthelia. As well, there are a
couple others, maybe zoanthoids. #4 actually is kind of a umbrella
shaped coral that's green but hard to see but I would appreciate help
identifying these. Thank you.

You don't happen to have a macro setting on your camera do you? The picture
depth is *off*.. the back of the tank is in perfect focus but the things
you're taking pics of are not.. it's hard to get a good look at them! Using
the macro setting at the distance you seem to be shooting from will bring
the things up close into better focus..
(btw shutterfly does great prints!)

1 is some kind of xenia
2 is hard to see but looks like it might be a ricordia
3 and 4 are both non-photosynthetic gorgonians and need to be fed regularly

I sent you a PM but you did not answer, so Ill ask here.
Just exactly what did you get from Garf, besides the aforementioned frags.
The only experience I have had with Garf is a couple years ago they were
collecting leather corals for trade. I sent them mine Fed-X prepaid and got
NOTHING in return, many phone calls, many promises and many emails later
still nothing. I called them yesterday and got an answering machine. I
wanted to know just what was included in this package, They asked me to
leave a message and they would call back. I'm still waiting. I'm somewhat
afraid to deal with them based on past experience.

I will work with my camera. I havne't used it a lot but will look for
a macro setting. What should I feed the gorgonians?
