Coral ID

[Belladauna]

I'm pretty sure what two of them are but I'm unsure if the one is a turbinaria. (pagoda coral) Regardless if I think I'm right about the other two, I'd appreciate any input. I'd rather know I'm wrong and care for these the way they should be than take care blindly.

Thank you for any help.

Yep, the first one is a pagoda cup. The other two are sps, acorporas. Not 100% sure on the names though.
sorry

The second looks more like a pocilopora rather than an acropora.

 

[carey]

Hmm could be. that was my first thought but it isnt as fuzzy as I'm used to lol

 

[Sniperhank]

Few polyps extended, are a couple if you look close.

 

[carey]

I think youre right. It has the skeleton of a pocillipora so its likely. I'm not the best with sps id's lol

I think my second one is a stylophora, not an acro. Thanks for the confirmation on the first and making me look another direction for the third.

 

[Sniperhank]

You are actually right...I'm looking right at one in my tank. Good call.

The guy at my LFS told me the third was a millepora (sorry if I spelled that wrong). But I'm looking at some online and I'm unsure. I think I'm gonna get a vortex wave maker in a few weeks but I wanted to see if I needed to take that financial plunge or not

 

[Sniperhank]

He's correct. Milepora are a variety of acropora.
Millepora Acropora Coral

Thank you two so much. Just want to be able to care correctly. The two I were unsure about were the pagoda and the Mille. So thank you. They are only a week old In the tank, so still acclimating.
