    To celebrate having a clean tank - new RODI and scrubbed all my rock! - picked up a "frag pack" from local coral dealer. Now I just have to figure out what these are (I've got some ideas, but as a newbie I'm not right all that often)

    thanks for the help

    I believe they are all different types of sps.

    The first one looks like a mushroom. Is it soft and movable or stony? The second resembles a cup coral when it is closed. Im not sure. The third loofs again like a mushroom.

    The first, 4th, and maybe the 3rd looking like some kind of encrusting montipora. Thats just from pictures i've seen. And the other looking like some kind of sps. i dont know, monti- and acro- poras for the 2nd. Thats as much as i can tell you though.
