I've had this 14 gallon invert and coral only tank for 7 years. I'm getting ready to part with the centerpiece colony and the left corner colony, both of which are about 2-1/2 or 3 years old.
If you can help ID the species, and make suggested easy-sell price for the 2 colonies, it would be a big help. I'm an introvert the sales/exchange is not natural for me.

The centerpiece colony has a huge colony of turquois polyps and magenta polyps, and in the middle/top of it is a spongy coral I got for free when it was the size of a large jelly bean, which has grown to about 5" wide when fully spanned.

The back left corner colony has large green soft polyps probably 40-50 guessing.

Again, any advice will be appreciated.

Thank you

The white one looks like some kind of leather coral. It’s pretty white- almost looks bleached. But I would guess a leather over a sponge. If it’s bleached then you probably won’t get too much - maybe $25-30

the small zoas on the rock I don’t recognize as something rare. If your can get a closer photo it may be easier to identify. If they are common zoas they may not be worth a lot.

the back left corner are palythoa grandis. I was recently given a colony of 90-100 heads for free. But I’ve also seen these sold for as much as $25 a head when sold in singles at lfs. I really have no idea what you should ask for these- they are not rare- but are still desirable to some.
Good luck.
