Just started with some coral frags...need ID and info

[pleco]

Hi! I acquired 3 coral frags to start with...however I don't know what kind they are. Also, was wondering about mounting on live rock...is it needed, and if so what is the best method (epoxy, superglue, etc.) Pictures will be posted in next posts.

Thanks! Should I attach these guys to the live rock or let them stay on their plugs?

Plugs for now is fine. Your BN will need good light though, looked like a war coral which is a sand lover and the trumpet is ok medium to low.

What kind of light do you have?

I have LED 1 white and 1 blue max

The favia can be placed directly on the sand or attached to a rock near the sand.
