They come with many different color morph, but I don't know what their trade nameThey look like acropora tenuis to me. First one could be a tort.
Understood. Often several names… and just as often “no name”. It is difficult to tell but I would say the color form of the blue with yellow polyps looks like a SC Orange Passion. The yellow with red polyps could be a Pink Floyd or a Pink Lemonade. Green ones could have any number of trade names. The first pic has the color of a CA tort but if its a tenuis then that isn’t it.They come with many different color morph, but I don't know what their trade name
Yellow with red is exactly as you called it. Trade name changes, it is a microclades though. I kind of thought the first might be a tort, but the corralites are different shape.Understood.

Looking at the first one again, I'm thinking Miyagi Tort, so acropora tortusa.
The two things to look at when trying to ID acros is growth pattern and corallites shape/density/size.
And for the candlelight acro, I don't know what it is classified as, but I only ever see it with that name. It is always a shade of green and very fuzzy. They have a shape that is almost like a speciosa, but more polyps/corallites per branch and they have bigger polyps.
Thank you for your enthusiastic guidance. It's great that the community has people like youAgree on the first one. What made me back away from calling it a tort is that mine grows more like a staghorn but that could be explained by flow. IMHO Miyagi & CA tort are interchangeable but agree on Miyagi.
My guess is that these are more tortuosa-like, rounder coralite than the first oneI’m back to a tort really beautiful colony!
