#3 has yellow/green polyps it looks like to me - I'm not sure as they weren't fully extended yet and the light turned off.

mornin' bump

 

[bogg]

maybe
a. nana
abrolhosensis
robusta, maybe formosa

 

[flamron]

bump - any other thoughts? I think formosa may be correct, but still not 100%.

 

[Frankenpora]

I would say maybe:
1. Valida / Nana
2. Prostrata
3. Staghorn ( not sure which one )

 

[flamron]

I'm gonna go with tricolor valida (coral is bleached-ish now, but should color up - I HOPE!)

Prostrata works for me - Is that similar to millepora?

I think this is a blue tipped purple slimer stag - Does that sound right? Again, I think it is bleached from the T5's.

I found the thread the guy bought these from, and he bought both the tri color and the blue tipped slimer (I think).

 

[Frankenpora]

Both Prostrata and Abrolhosensis have similarities to Mille's.
And it could very well be either. I would say the vast majority
of the time it's an educated guesse at best from a picture.
As to the Slimer question.
It does'nt look like one to me, but it could be one that is extremely
stressed.
For that matter it could be a Prostrata that is extremely stressed
too.
Here is a Bali Green Slimer (Yongei)
The slimers really reveal themselves as such by the snot like slime
that they produce when irritated. Slimer is the common name
given because of this attribute. There are several species that
could be called Slimer, but still be different.

I've got a small frag of green slimer and it looks different corallite structure-wise than the blue I've got, so it may not be that.
