Coral ID

[SDFISHMAN]

I have a few corals I need to ID

 

[acrodave]

1 acro sp
2 acro sp
3 chalice sp

 

[SDFISHMAN]

Anyone know what the names are? I know they are acros and a chalice but what?

???????

nice acros and nice chalice?

 

[Moonstream]

does it reallt matter what the name are? they are acros and chalice dude, thats it.

anyways, I am pretty sure that it is impossible to get a correct ID w/o getting the "lineage" (IMO a way to make coral more expensive).

OK, the first one is a bit young to determin, as is the second, but a guess would be A. pulchra for the second. The first is just not clear enough.

The third is not an SPS, rather an LPS, possibly Echinophyllia costata or E. aspera. These are pectinids, not favids, therfore not chalice corals in the traditional sense.
