    Here are my guesses

    1. Green star polyps
    2. Maybe Montipora Digitata, kind of hard to tell
    3. Montipora Capricornis or possibly some form of chalice, hard to tell again without seeing polyps or closer shot
    4. Some Acropora Species no clue which one, bit small to tell

    2 looks like digitata
    3 looks like montipora setosa but hard to tell in that pic.

    alot of LFS here in the U.S. dont know what they have, just the way some suppliers are. they will send a shipment and some young college kid puts into a tank. as far as research goes yes people should do some research. i have a list of corals that i want stored on my iphone with pic's but if i get to the pet store and see an sps i like i buy it. only lost 4 corals in 10yrs.
