1,2,3 possibly goniastrea, favites or favia
4,8 lobophyllia
5 trachyphyllia or welsophyllia
6 platygyra
These are just quick guesses, but I am sure with these names you can google search and decide for yourself.
Good Luck

Thanks a lot. 7 was the one I was the most unsure about.

So you think 1 is like a war coral?

I paid 30 each for 7 and 8 just because I really liked them. Bad deal?

 

[Aquascaper]

No- #1 and "war coral" are very distinguishably variant,

Good deal- bad deal?

Short answer- Great price (US retail relevance)

Long answer- if someone were to give a person a similar coral pack for free- and then charge you $30 ea., on the surface that wouldn't sound like such a good deal....
However...
Being that you were not asked to pay standard deviations greater than a relative and accepted "SRP"- to say you were charged unfairly high would be untrue in this case- some might say that you received a Great bargain relative to the prices in their geographical market...

My Opinion is that if one makes a purchase within their own personal desired budget control- and that person receives in return something that brings to them an equal or greater amount of happiness than the monetary value spent to acquire item in question...
Then that person should be able to find self confidence that the purchase made was good in deed:bigsmile:

Oh I agree. I'm very happy with what I got. I'm just always curious to see how much similar stuff goes for in other parts of the country. All the stuff I get is from trades, or buying from local people, not stores.
