Got 2 new SPS corals yesterday from my LFS. At least one of them is an ORA according the them, It is on a plastic plug. Does anyone know the names of these? Thanks!

Little dark, but the one on the left looks like a blue tort. Does the one on the right have any color to it? I'm no expert but it looks pretty bleached (maybe dying).

Based on the growth pattern, I'm going with Hawkins Echinata on the left (under bright lights will be green and blue). Coral on the right is definitely a Ponape Birdsnest. Not bleached, just a light color.

Left looks like bottlebrush acro, right definetly seriatopora hystrix-birds nest-nice growth tips both look great!

The one on the left looks nothing like an A. tort or a bottle brush. It's definitely ORA Hawkins Echinata, which is not an Echinata at all, but probably a Turaki...lol.

The one on the right is definitely a Ponape Birdsnest, probably Seriatapora hystrix.

Thanks. The corals have been mounted on my LR for little over a week now they are still looking very good. I will post some new pics later today.
