Those are all dead The first and 4th pics look like they been dead for a while. The second looks like it died not to long ago and the 3rd looks like it died a dew days ago.

Not to be so negative, but wow they look horrible, did you just buy those? :irked:
Could be from the strip light your using..Those look like SPS corals if im not mistaken....

All are sps except for the 4th pic. He bought those from a pet shop that threw them in as LR.

Nemo They are really look like they are dead so no worries that is why the were sold to you as live rock Now something else concerns me, can you get a pic of that hairy crab you said you had in the tank that HH'd in on the Live rock? He may be a bad hitchhiker not a good one.

Yes I got them on tuesday but I thought they were live rock I found out they were coral online. Could it be that they were dead before I got them, if they are dead what should I do with them.

Keep em they are ok to have, they are dead so bacteria that helps cycle your tank can colonize on them for now, when your tank is up you can swap the dead pieces out for live ones.

Also, what type of tank are you planning on setting up? FOWLR or reef? Either or you're gonna need some stronger lighting. Just my taste, but if you put some background on the tank glass (blue) it would "spruce" up the tank a bit. But all in all it looks like it's coming along. Didi you finish your cycle as of yet?

I will like to have some corals, anemone, a blue hippo tang a yellow tang 2 percula clownfish some star fish, perhaps a shrimp and maybe a goby or blennie

 

[nanoreefer22]

The anemone simply won't survive in your tank. And a hippo tang and yellow tank would be very bad choices for fish in a tank this size.

 

[findingnemo]

what size tank will be good for the blue hippo? I saw another member I believe it was fritz had a clownfish , blue hippo and yellow tang on a 29 gallon tank, i think he had a blennie too.

Fritz!!!

Is this true? :lol:

What I did was i started off with FOWLR, had 2 damsels for about 9 months or so. I made all my mistakes got to learn about how much time is consumed in taking care of the tank etc. asked the guys on here a-lottt of questions, read the different postings suggestions on this site and others. Then if you feel that you have the time/knowledge make the leap to reef....a slow leap (crawl b4 walking). In my opinion a FOWLR can be just as pretty if not more than a reef tank. You can keep certain fish (really colorful ones) in FOWLR that you can't in a reef tank. Plus FOWLR it's significantly cheaper to maintain. Best of luck.
