The red one is from Salt Water Paradise, the others from Reef Creation. These all sit on one rock and were lit by a 400w 12k reflux when the photo was taken, they normally are not in this much light and may need to be moved soon but giving it a try. The other acans are going to get attached to rocks this weekend, tired of them getting buried in sand.
I have frags of the pink one, can frag a green/purple one...that is it right now.

This one is probably supposed to be a "Sunset" montipora. The base should be much more orange. The one from Steve Tyree is very orange, with the polyps very green. The more pale version supposedly comes from ORA. I have both in my tank.
Montipora love magnesium, so if you want them to be more colorful, you may need to bump it up some. This particular one seems to do well away from the lights, rather than higher PAR.

Scott, the one I got from you has continued to grow quite well. You can see it in this picture. (Sorry, I don't recall if I posted it in this thread already):
The Tyree version is in the bottom right corner. The one from Scott is just beneath the pink Birdsnest, above the Tyree.

Mine is brighter than that in my tank. The "True Tyree" that I have has brighter polyps but the body is brown.
Marc, look at the pic of the sunset that Kurt posted earlier in the thread. Its the same one that you have. Its pretty bright. I'm not saying the strain I got is better than the Tyree. I'm just saying that in my tank its much brighter and nicer looking. Not to mention it grows like a weed.
But in your tank their is no comparison. The Tyree version is much brighter....Maybe i got ripped off on what I was sold as the "tyree" version.
Heres a pic of a frag that I had http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d82/bosborn1/IMG_7159.jpg

Someone PM'd me and said "While the shots are pretty, would like to see more depth of field...more things sharper"
So I pulled out a tripod
Purple Acropora
Different Acro, that seems to be turning purplish. This is the current home to the yellow clown gobies, they have laid eggs in the same spot on this coral 3x now.
ORA Green Birdsnest
The lighting on this one is not good, and it may be the lost "Superman" monti I had traded for.
