You want actual scientific names or common names?

 

[Nuuze]

Common names would be great!

 

[MiddletonMark]

#1, 2, 4 - Acropora sp.
#3 - Seriatopora sp. / Birdsnest

As for past that, IMO it's generally guessing - and I don't have a book [is there one?] that gives me captive care information species-to-species with Acropora, so don't get hung up on it.

 

[trueblackpercula]

I will second what MiddletonMark just posted.

 

[GMAX]

First Acropora is some kind of deepwater species. Perhaps Turaki? Other two look like they could be the same species but as you know there are a lot of Acropora species.

Thanks! I got 3 more...

Thanks 29reef!

Is this also a austera tort:

 

[Corn]

could the 6th one be a cal tort ???

 

[Nuuze]

I bought 5, 6 and 7 from Atlantis if that matters...

[DaddyJax]

I agree with 29 reef on all but the 6th. I think it is a Plana. It looked like mine did when I first got it.

Then I'd ask them.
If cultured, IMO it's interesting to see it's captive lineage too.


Some good guesses on ID above, for all I ignore them

 

[Nuuze]

I was told the 5th one is a gomezi and 6th is a tenius.
