    Bought them as just acropora and montipora. Total $70 for all three. I do ok? The purple guy was $40, but he's starting to table, so I figured it was a good deal.

    The monti is a rainbow monti; an encrusting species. It'll grow over the surrounding rockwork, and anything else it's sting will win against. You might want to move that one to a space with more open real estate.

    The other two are acros, but they're a bit small it get a good ID on species.

    Yeah you did ok! Very nice size frags at very very nice prices. I agree with trying to move the Monti...but I see you've already epoxied it in place. What kind of lights are you running? Just curious :)

    I agree you did well on the price. Not sure on the acros until they grow out more. The purple one may be an A. nana.
