Ist pic looks like it has plates growing out as branches like a solitaryensis. Those are considered to be high light and strong flow corals and thats my experience with them as well. Very nice looking colonies. Good luck with them.

Where did you get those massive colonies?? Have you been raping the reef? Joking, they are amazing!

I would say granulosa possible loripes on the first one. The tips need to grow out more to make a better id. Then cerealis/tricolor valida on the second. Def cerealis for the third.

Feel free to send me frags for helping you id. ;p

just saw the mother colony of vivid's rainbow delight today and it looks just like a solitaryensis like the first pic. No wonder lots of us have trouble coloring that one up.
