    Purchased these and would love to know their names.

    Was told this was a Pink Millipora.

    Thank you. I'm just curious for my own education. I like to know what I'm dealing with and keep a personal catalog.

    1 is a pink mili...the third is Oregon tort. It's a little brown but it is a tort. I really really like that one.

    That is exactly why it is important to get the tech names. If they can be identified by species then you have a better chance of finding information about how to keep them happy and thriving. Proper identification is the first step to good reef husbandry.
