Some ID's Please.

Some I am sure about, some not so much.


Favia.


Chalice of some sort, may be Enchinata. Grey and red in color.


Another Favia that needs some TLC.


My two very favorites.

Some form of Cyphastrea, love it.


And lastly a montipora, purple haze, needs a tad of TLC as well.


Thanks for any and all assistance.

And no Alex no FTS yet.

 

Purple Haze is my fav encrusting Monti. Yours doesn't look to be in to bad of shape.

Wish I could help on the IDs but can't.

 

Could not pass up the purple haze, even passed up a Acrorpora Humilis for it. It was by far the more expensive coral. The others were buy 4 for 40.00 I could not resist.

Almost bought a new clown, but they all looked kind of sickly.

 

I don't think the first one is a Favia. I think it might be a Goniastrea.

Here is a good link on Faviidae. Faviidae

Not sure on the chalice. Beautiful corals Cheryl.

 

Thanks John.

I almost thought it looked more like a Brain coral.
The Chalice I will have to hunt for.
What do you think about the Cyphastrea? It's a lime green, very cool.

 

Very pretty, not sure which species though. I am almost certain it is not the same species as the Meteor Shower Cyphastrea.

 

Does it have green polyps with a blue base? I have a Tyree cyphastrea like that!

 

Aussie Prism Goniastrea, Possibly a molten red chalice from the description, cant tell the Cyphastrea under the lighting, and you guessed the last one for us which gave us all at Least a 25% chance of being right... : ) I really hope you got the molten red cause that's some sick color. You'd also be crazy to turn those babies down for the price to congrats. : )

 

No blue, it's as green as a piece of Juicy Fruit Gum. I mean just green. Got any pics of yours?

Thanks

Cool thanks for an ID.

Some of the frags like the Cyphastrea and possible Goniastrea and the Chalice are in really good shape and big frags.

 

I agree with John, the first one doesn't look like a Favia. I've seen some of those with very long tentacles. I was watching one for a friend, and it started to put out tentacles in the direction of a Duncan. Every day I moved it a little, and every day the tentacles reached out further until they were over 6" long.

The chalice, I can't tell by the picture. I've seen that green Cypastrea, its super bright. Under blue light.

Nice avatar, btw. Very artsy.

Have you fed any of them, yet?
