the top one looks like a bleached out LTA which unfortunately isn't long for this world. It's very difficult to bring them around once they lose their color. Keep an eye on it because if it dies it can VERY quickly foul your tank causing a crash. Here's a good read about what can happen: http://www.coralforum.com/ftopic4175.ht ... d10aa4f3e7

second pic looks like an encrusting montipora - possibly a montipora verrucosa. I'd need a clearer pic for a positive ID.

last pic is a hidden cup coral - phyllangia americana.

Last pic looks dead or dying :cry: . SM - that's not really how a healthy specimen looks is it?

Is it looking any better now?

yeah it does appear to be quite dead. Is there any polyp extension that you see at night on those hidden cup corals EIF666?
 
hey update on that last coral pic, well all died except for the top 3 biggest ones, now they are a tanish color with a little red to them and they are multiplying like nuts, its not a colony, the 3 originals then then about a dozen baby buds about 1/4 the size, Il try and get a pic but it looks great with its polyps extended 24 hours a day, the bleached LTA has probably multiplied in size 6x or so going from 1/2" diameter to 4.5" diameter, its also turned a nice brown for a while and is now beginning to turn fluorescent green, looks amazing with my cinnamon clown in it
