Just got these in a frag draft a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone ID for me please?

I dunno, but they're good!

Of course, anything is just a guess, but I'd guess possibly astreopora for #1, but could be some sort of Echinophyllia, too (can't see it clearly enough). I'd go with Echinpora lamellosa for #2. Can't make out enough of #3. Possibly an encrusting monti or something? Looks like some sort of sps.

the last one looks maybe like galaxea??

I agree with gflat on pictures 1 & 2.

Is number three composed of one, large corallite or several small corallites forming a colony? It almost looks like a side view of Scolymia sp. with the center out of view. All of the ones I have seen coming in have that strange, encrusting growth. Can you get a picture of the top of the coral?

I also agree with gflat... the one seems Astreopora, the second... maybe a echino, but itÃ"šÃ‚´s impossible to be sure without seeing the skeleton. And the third... definitely not a galaxea for me, it seems to be an SPS, it could even be porites (the pics isnÃ"šÃ‚´t clear), but with that polyps... probably an encrusting monti.

Agree with Dani on #3 mine looks dang near identical to my Monti.
