Couple Coral Questions

[-Nemo-]

First, I got these mushrooms a little less than a week ago, and they were doing wonderfully, until recently the smaller mushroom has been barely opening, I have no clue why. The other one (as you can see) it always nice and open and they're right next to each other I also have those yellow-brown things above them, which I don't know what that is. I know I used to have some on another piece of rock, but my emerald crab ate them Could they possibly be the problem?

Second, My little bulldozer of a snail, knocked these zoos/mushroom over yesterday and i picked them up and turned them to their other side to discover these little white things all up and between the polyps . Not quite sure what they are, possibly some kind of eggs? My mom said she turned on the lights this morning and saw a little teeny tiny conch crawling around through the closed polyps , She seems 100% certain its a conch, though I have yet to see it myself. The coral did come from a tank full of inverts, including conchs.

Thanks for any help.

Well the mushroom may just be having a spell. Is it ejecting brown stringy mucuous looking stuff fom it's mouth? If so that's just expelling zooxanthellae as it get's used to your lighting. Those other things above it in the pic look like harmless clove polyps to me. Not aggressive (certainly weaker than mushies) although they can turn into a bit of a "carpet pest"

Thanks for that , you just answered my question, My new mussy keeps spitting out mucus from time to time, now I know why

The Orange Polyps in the first pic look gorgeous any idea of a name or where I would get some ?
