Slave to the reef!
I was told this might be Nasuta but the growth pattern is different, so i don't think it is. Any ideas?

Next we have this, its green with pink tips.

Still trying to figure out what this is.

Anyone have any ideas on any of these?
 
1st one is an ORA coral
2nd one A. sarmentosa (sp)
3rd one is a Deepwater acro (jacquelineae, caroliniana...) theres a bunch more, if you look in Verone's 3 volume set 1st book you will find it .
 
First could be A. valida or A. nana, as well. Needs to develope. A. nasuta typically has more distinctive corallite lips, but not always. Great polyp colour! Wow.

The second one certainly looks like A. sarmentosa, but too small to be sure.

The third beauty belongs to the echinata group for sure. Exact species is tough, but A. echinata itself in all probability. Again, needs to develope.

What I find difficult in IDing frags is we have no size reference and the final developement of the coral may be quite different than in a frag. Table types develope various forms within the same coral, depending on their position in the colony; i.e. on the edge, in the middle, primary or secondary branch, etc. This is not apparent in a frag, but may be species distinctive.
 
first one looks like the ora german green with blue polyp acro, second sarmentosa, third, maybe speciosa?
