    I'm not sure what anything is except for the lime green favia on the left and the bits of birds nest given to me. I need an ID on everything else if anyone can help.

    second pic looks like a GARF bonsai or something similar to it.

    Your green favia looks to possibly be a prizm favia too

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    First image, is a Pocillpora on the right hand side, not sure what the one in the center is. It could be a Monitpora but really hard to tell without a closer image.

    The last two images are acropora, the first may be a Valida. It's really hard, for me, anyway to tell specifically what type of acropora when the frags are small, with no polyp extension. They may need to color up as well.

    Thanks. Did you guys click on the first image? I believe clicking on it makes it larger. That orange piece.. I really have no idea what it is. Someone said enchinata. I tried taking closer pics but they just come out blurry w/ my crappy point and shoot.

    Orange one looks to be a chalice or some coral starting with a P...I'll get the name for you.
    EDIT: pachyseris

    Could be a type of echinata acans, but I am only guessing.

    After looking up close, it could be a monti?
    Click on the image, go the corner of the window where it says 100% with a magnifying glass, ramp that up to 400% then allign it on the orange coral. It fills the screen.

    I don't think so. After looking close its really spiky, and also no "eyes", just a dead spot in the middle.

    Chalice would be my best guess on that one too.
