couple of sps ids

[dviper150]

I need help with Iding 2 sps corals.

Here is the second sps.

The first sps does have light blue tips. From the pictures you can't tell because the camera wasn't able to pick it up.

anyone?

Here is a better picture of the above sps corals.

I also need an ID on this sps frag. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and it was all white with green polyps. Now it has turned a peach color with the green polys. Any idea what it is?

blue millie

bali tricolor

Thanks! Do you know what kind of granulosa it is?

My guesses:
1. A. loripes

2. Not sure at this point, but A. millepora seems likely.

3. A. secale (although A. valida is also a possibility).

Loripes
Mille
Secale

for my vote as well

Thanks guy! Wasn't sure what the sps frag with green polyps was since the valida have purple tips and this doesn't. It is changing colors since I got it so hopefully it turns into something like that picture.

Kleptos pics are from a reference site and all the pictures taken are of wild colonies. It will be tough to make them look exactly like that color and shape but either way I think it will look nice.

Just saw this thread.

Is this one of Mai's SPS frags? I got a couple of them too. Did the exact same in my tank. browned up. But now turning purple slowly. That is before the AEFW got to it.

Here's Mai's pic of the mother colony

Sorry, if I'm barking up the wrong tree...

The way the radial corallites line up in rows make me think A nasuta.

His other colony that was REALLY white shows those rows even better. Here's his pic under actinics which was a little misleading.

I didn't get that from Mai and when I bought it, it was pure white with just the green polyps. It started turning peach after a week and now its slowly turning purple.
