Hiya everyone! Picked up a few frags at City Pets and the guy who helped me couldn't give me any specifics on my purchases.

Orange Dendros or Sun Coral?
I was told these guys were Orange Dendros. They are exhibiting some "Sun Coral" behavior (only come out in the evening until early morning). I'm not sure how to tell the difference and want to be sure I know what I've got... what do you think? Dendros or Suns?

Tube Thingies
I've been searching the net and can't even come close to finding a pic of this stuff. At first, it looked like thick, wrinkled up elephant trunks, but now (2 - 3 weeks later) they are all elongated stalks with big, open reverse-mushroom heads. What is this?

I've got one more that needs an ID, but the photo op wasn't there tonight. Might try again tomorrow.

Thanks in advance for your help peeps!

Looks like dendro or sun coral. Gonna be the same care either way. Top one is just some button palys.

too hard to say on the dendro/sun coral. Need a close up of the mouth area.

as for the first picture. Those things look pretty odd. What kinda light do you have? It almost look like those things are stretching out for more light.

soymilk: We have PCs.

I researched the button palys, but mine don't have the "fringe" around the edges. Look the same as they did at CPs, just a little bit more "opened".

Just added two more pics...

One pic of the tube guys right after I fed them (that top right one looks like he's BURPING! haha)

The other pic is not much better than the first one, but you can "sort of" see the mouth on the dendro/sun coral. Any more ideas?
