Could anybody ID These Three Corals ?

[AcroSteve]

Hopefully, they are large enought for a rough guess.

Thanks in advance.

This one is very tolerant of low flow and light. Looks like porites of some sort.

And lastly, here are two colonies of the same coral.

This is the original mother colony.

And this one is the result of two large frags growing together.

very nice corals
#1 SPS
#2 SPS
#3 SPS
HEHEHEHE JUST KIDDING

 

[LeftCoast]

#3 is A. sarmentosa

 

[AcroSteve]

Can anybody else help out here?

 

[damienkee]

#1= should be valida

 

[TexasTodd]

Just a guess

1. A. Cerelius (spelling?)
2. Got me
3. Ditto on A. Sarmentosa.

I was thinking valida on #1, but the coralites have a little more to them than what I am used to seeing (as well as being different from my cerealis). I just got a garf coral that is similar to that form... I'd guess a porites (or monti?) on #2. Saramentosa on #3.

#2 looks like digitata that isn't getting very much flow. I had a branch of digi that fell off into a crevice and grew just like the one you have pictured.

 

[AcroSteve]

The polyps on it are closer to a porites. Smaller than my digi's.

I have #4 and would also like to know what it is.

During the day polyps are hidden, at night they are fully extended.

Here is a top-down of the A. Sarmentosa in the 3rd pic.

How about this one I picked up from SeanT?

And the one on the left in this pic also came from SeanT's tank.

 

[AcroSteve]

What the heck. I don't know what this one is either.

 

[SeanT]

Man I had some nice corals back then. :lol:

The yellow one some have called a Acropora yongeii.
Not sure though.

 

[OCDP]

im a pretty big SPS newb still so these are just guesses..

the one in the last picture looks like a. millepora (sp)
and the very first picture, it looks like a blue tip stag

guesses!

Yep, I've got one just like that yellow one...been trying to identify it for a couple of years. It is either A. yongei or something very close. Commonly called a "slimer" although another similar coral may have the same name.
FWIW,

[AcroSteve]

Thanks for checking in Sean.

How about this pink table I got from you? So far, it has been a slow grower.

 

[AcroSteve]

Still wondering about some of them.

Anybody?

 

[LeftCoast]

The pink table looks like A. divaricata.
