I agree

The second picture may be a xenia sp, but hard to tell until it opens.

its not xenia... the way it is in the picture is close to fully open. I saw it fully open today and ran to get the cam... came back and it was all tucked away... n i was like WTF? then i saw a lil bristle worm that came with the rock... it prolly walked up against it or something and caused it to hide... a friend of mine suggested goniopora when i described it and i can see how he thought it was that... but its definitly not... but now that ive seen it i think i need to get some cuz that stuff looks awesome...

and yea i just looked and its definitly kenya tree... and by the description of it i dont know if i want it anymore i better keep this thing in check before it takes up the whole tank...

Ya kenya tree can take over but it dosen't sting anything so thats a plus.

i am 99.9% sure the second pic is a xenia

can't see whats in the first pic
third looks like a formaniferan, benign

im 100% sure the fist fpick is a striped variaty of star polyps and the second is a kenya tree and the third is the mushroom in the middle top rightish in the pic if im not mistaken.

imo, you should consider keeping the tree coral; granted, they certainly have the potential to grow very large, but they're pretty easy to manage...just frag it out when it starts to get too big for it's britches and make a little money in the process if you sell or trade the frags! Plus they look sweet swayin' in the current! Here's one o mine
