Echinophyllia? Oxypora?

I purchased this as a "nano rock" and all the girl could say was it is a SPS coral... I don't think it is SPS.


I cant tell if this one is leptastrea, micromussa, a favite or what
I also purchased this as a "nano rock"

echino for the first pic, the second one could be either lep or favites depending on the polyps, if it has tenticles and overall appearance looks like zooanthids, I say lep, but I have seen a favite morph that same color too but there overall appearance will be fairly smooth tissue on the surface except when it opens to feed but that'd be usually at night I'd assume. Heres my leptastrea that it looks very similar to your second pic:

I am almost positive the last one is leptastrea, not merletti because there are no branches and the corallites are too small, they are connected, and close together.

without knowing the size of the coral/coralites it could be favites/favia or leptastrea to me it looks like favites but i could be wrong.
