ID help

[meschaefer]

I was able to purchase a number of SPS frags and colonies from a reefer who was dismantling his tank. I got the following (plus three others I don't have good pictures of yet) for $20 total.

The only problem is I don't have an IDs and my experience with SPS is limited, so any ID i make will be a guess. I know that your opinion will also be a guess, but probably and educated one.

(off topic) Can anyone tell me why my pics are not loading?

I'm not sure why the images do not work. I'm aslo not sure on the ID-ing them. I'm sure that none of them look really healthy.

Oh yea.. this guys tank was a mess. It looked like he had been slowley dismantling it. All of the corals were pretty much laying at the bottom of the tank.

As bad as they look, I have had some polyp extension on almost all of them in the three days that they have been in my tank. Also I figure the whole lot of them cost me only $20, and I got frags from about eight different corals. Even if only one or two survived, it is well worth it.

Probably don't work because you have them on an ftp site and they are not available using http.

Those SPS seem to be in pretty bad shape and I don't think that an ID will be possible for now. The corallites don't have enough definition. However, #2 is a Poccilopora, most likely P. damnicornis.

 

[meschaefer]

The poccilopora is doing the best. It had some polyp extension a few hours after I brought them home. Unidetified #1 and #4 are starting to extend their polyps, but not much. They have been extending them a little bit more each day for the last three days or so. I'll give them a couple of weeks to become fully acclimated and I'll take some pics of the survivors for further identfication.

As indicated, these corals where in bad shape when I got them. They where laying on the botom of a tank that was being dismantled and was only half full of water. I don't know how long they were there, but they where not happy.
