What are the correct names for these two corals? I know the one is some sort of canycane and the other is some sort of fragspawn but what are the real names. Thanks!

The candycane is a Caulastrea sp. and the frogspawn is euphyllia sp. there are several specific species in each genus, and it's very hard to identify them further.

I called my candycane "fred" :)

Okay.. in any case, in all seriousness, if you just go with the "SP", and they change color or "morph" under customer care, yer covered ;)

i agree, cover your bases. The SP. name will do just fine for online sales.

And you should make your "Salt Critters" image/logo/signature, with a clickable link.
