ok ill get a pic for ya the 1 is nice green but the other is bleached but has nice polyp extention still. i got them cheap enough so i figured id try to nurse it back. but they all have nice waving polyp extenion thats why i was asking. i also have nursed back a green birdsnest from completly bleached with no extention, its coloring up nice. i have to say dont laugh they look nothing like yours. as for gluing you leave the rock in the tank and put the apoxy on the coral then submerge the coral into the water onto the rock? the apoxy dont hurt the water? what kind of apoxy do you use? as for the frag pack ive been patiently waiting i want to get some diff color sps other than green

as far as gluing directly to the rock thats how i do it.... the superglue gel works best.... i get the kind made by Duro.... u just put a huge glob on stick it in the water set it on a rock kinda move it around so the glue transfers to the rock too then it sticks within a few seconds....
the epoxy works for some bigger pieces its safe under water but will make your skimmer go crazy so ur guna have to turn it off for like an hour or else it will overflow!
thats awesome that u are nursing it back to health....
shoot me a email again and we can figure something out for yah

yeah first looks to me to be a poccilopora sp. acro
second looks to be a branching green monti digitata
3rd looks like its probably some sort of green slimer stag
4th is a green plating monti
5th is a green humilis or saomesis sp acro
lookin good at least they all look healthy and have nice polyps
just think about addin more flow to the tank

sean that last pick is def. A. humilis its a cluster acro. so like murph said lots of light and flow. Thats one thing about the cluster acros is because there branches are so tightly toghter they bleach out when the flow is not strong enough for them.

Slowly... That tank seems to get bigger and better everytime you look at it! Do you have a pic of what it looked like at first? Kinda be weird to see the difference.
