1. Pavona maldivensis
2. Montipora sp. Definitely not a M. capricornus though, as true M. capricornis are almost never found in the hobby
3. Micromussa sp.

Some people say lepto, some say pavona maldivensis. Here's another picture. What say you?

Lepto doesn't have mouths that stand out quite like the pavona.

Ok here's another. It seems happy on the sand but I'm thinking of moving it up but unsure if it can handle more light and flow.

Don't mean to be a negative Nelly, but buying corals without knowing what they are is how you accidentally kill coral.
This is true. At the moment they're all living as I start them on the sand and then get help from you all to determine their long term location.
