First SPS - ID Please

[sedor]

After a ton of research and equipment purchasing I finally bought my first 3 frags of SPS. I'm sure these are all quite common, but can I get an ID on each?

Also, are number 1 and 3 the same?

it looks like number 1 and 3 are the same

Well that sucks, but hey I can always trade them out when they get bigger. Kinda wish I would have noticed that in the store.

ya 1 and 3 are real close #2 looks like green slimer

Yup, 2 is a Green Slimer, very common and very hardy and a super fast grower. It was my first SPS and what got me hooked. Not sure what 1/3 are though but looks nice.

1/3 are some sort of millepora, and yes 2 is a slimer. In the LFS it seemed like 3 had much larger polyps, but now that I have them home and side by side, the coloration is almost identical.

No one can give me an exact ID on these?
