[jamnman]

I picked up these SPS corals at the LFS they sold them to me for 10.00 each.
Can someone please ID them for me?

I'm no expert but my guess' are 1. green digi 2. a montipora 3. a tenius
like I said no expert trying to learn hopefully someone who really knows will chime in.

No expert here either....but based on the pics provided I'd guess a monti digitata...possibly a pavonia of some sort...and the last looks like some sort of acropora sp.
thats my story and I'm stickin' to it!!
:thinking: :thinking:

10.00 each thats a steal

Hey NM reef agrees with 2 out 3 not a bad battin average, missed the 2nd.

 

[nm reef]

LOL...but I'm not sayin' I'm right....ID's are tough on SPS types and the pic quality offered makes it even tougher...I was just makin' a guess. heck we both may be wrong.....

Whatever they are.. It's still a steal

 

[jamnman]

Thank all of you for your replies. I thought they were very good prices also.
They are rather large pieces.

I'm going to say that the first one looks like Hydnaphora (sp), the second Pavona and the last looks like a montipora of some sort. All three very hardy and good starter sps.
Good luck.

I agree with Bdubbya.
Hydnophora
Pavona
Monipora Digitata

1: either: Monti/ or maybe Hydnophora
2: Pavona
3: Montipora Digitata

YUP YUP, i AGREE TOO!!!

 

[jamnman]

Is it normal for the Pavona to have christmas tree worms living in it?

 

[tru conch]

i agree with bdubbya, jauringer, and reefer44.
my pavona has a little white feather duster that lives in it's skeleton with no problems.

Their all great starter sps...and if your tanks conditions are right there will come a day when you'll want them all out because they grow like maaaaaaaaad.
10.00 is a GREAT deal....I hope you have a ca reactor
