Need help Identifying SPS. Pics Included.

[HollyG]

So, I got 4 frags of SPS the other day, and the guy told me what the names were, but 2 of them I'm not sure if he was corrects?
I know way more about softies and LPS... SPS names are still new to me.

He said this one is a pink birds nest, which to me it kindda does look like BUT it doesn't have the pointy tips that most have? It's kind of throwing me off a little.


This one he said is a Stylo, but I looked up stylos and this one doesn't quite look like them? This branches out more and isn't as "stubby" looking and the polyps aren't as small and more "fluffy" looking than the stylos I've seen? What do you guys think?

both look like stylopora to me .

second one is same as this :

I have never seen a red stylo, so not 100% sure on second one.

The pink one lookd to be Seriatopora Hystix http://sdmas.com/corals/342.php

The second Is hard to say. Can you get a pic with the polyps closed so we can see the skeleton? I am thinking Pocillpopra Damicornis http://sdmas.com/corals/307.php

Allmost, your looks like Seriatopora as well. Caliendrum http://sdmas.com/corals/341.php

Here's a pic of the skeleton with the polyps closed... or as closed and I could get them lol This thing loves my tank so much that as soon as I am able to get the polyps closed they start opening up right away LOL
