Coral identification

[Kopitar]

Hi.


Does anyone know what kind of coral is this guy

It came in a shipment online along with 12 other corals and the salesman didnt put any names on the bags.. So im a bit confused
Im thinking it might be the purple bonsai but really not 100% sure
And is his color normal ? Doest look normal to me ..Where should he be in the tank?

Thanks for the help

It's definitely an acropora of some sort. It could be a Garf bonsai. What lighting do you have it under?

Aquatic life 6 bulbs T5
Where should they be placed ?
I put him in the bottom 1/3 of tank since i didnt know ,been a week now still hasnt changed color

Thanks

While were at it do you know where those 2 need to be placed ? I have them in the middle for now

First (pink) is a branching cyphastrea

Other one is a red polyp acropora but not 100% certain

Thanks for the help

Both acropora species are high light. The cyphastrea I'm not sure about. I've only kept the encrusting type and found that to do best under moderate lighting. I would start that one low and see how it goes.
