Id help

[mario420]

Went to a frag swap yesterday and just started purchasing corals. Can I have ID on a few corals attached?

first is a cyphastrea, looks like the meteor shower to me. second is way too small to tell, long shot guess maybe nasuta. 3rd looks austera-ish, and if it ends up being solid blue I want it. haha. Been looking for a blue. Last one is a stag of some kind, looks real similar to how the scripps wants to start grwoing out. If so, the scripps can turn a solid insane turquoise color in the right conditions.

here is a pic of one of my green austeras. I had a huge colony of it that I had to frag up a while back and now I have smaller colonies of it everywhere. grows fast

its the brightest green in my tank. Makes slimers next to it look dim

whether or not that coral of yours is in fact an austera, it looks to have serious potential though. I bet it ends up being a super bright blue of some kind

I love that acro in the 3rd pic!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks more like a navini to me since the corallites are spaced out more and looks smoother than that green one. too bad we live far apart. I would have traded or paid you for a frag of that

here's a pic of a coral similar to the first one that branches out.

I call it churro shower

another reason why I believe thats a navini is because it's 'boxy' looking while the austera is more rounded on the tips
