Acropora ID.

[Vladis]

Need some ID on this acros.

second one

growth looks caespitose (or bushy) to me.
branches are medium sized and do not appear to taper much to me
axial corallites are smallish, it appears to me the there are many incipient axials at the end of branches
radial corallites look tubular appressed. some are impressed into the body of branch
openings for the most part but are hard to see in the photo

Acropora aculeus http://sdmas.com/corals/6.php

The second is tough, could be a few different ones.
Acrpora kimbeensis http://sdmas.com/corals/444.php

or maybe cerealis http://sdmas.com/corals/16.php

Sorry, had to step away from the computer for a while.

I was going to say another loripes for the second. The smooth and round corallites and growth pattern seem to be familiar.



edit-
On second thought, kimbeensis is a very good possibility.

I have copel of loripez and but it os not simulere at all. Lokk more like kimbnnesis

Have some more acros to giv a right ID. So Maybe I van post dem to

Maybe granulosa on that one http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0033/view#

First pic I agree with aculeus
2nd pic looks to me like cerealis but depending on your flow conditions you may be experiencing reticulate evolution which will change the way it branches, etc. making it almost impossible to accurately id without looking at a piece of skeleton under magnification.
3rd pic - The pic kind of resembles granulosa but it's tough to tell for sure from that angle. my guess is A.willisae or maybe anthocercis. I used to have a colony of anthcercis that was almost that color with a similar growth pattern around the table edges.

I was kinda thinking willisae on the last one as well. http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0080/view#
