Got my first frags a few days ago. 10 frags in total all in qt right now. My tank has been running for over a year. Just don’t know what kinda of frags these are. Would like to know for lighting, flow requirements and proper placement in the tank. Thank you!

Try taking a picture under white light. First one looks like some kind of Monti not sure what second one is

I agree that the first one looks like a montipora. The second could possibly be a psammocora of some kind. White light shots would definitely help.

Zoa is right. And without better photos to hopefully I.D. species, specific care is unknown. For example #1 looks like a montipora but depending on the variety some are known to do better under different conditions. Etc.

I can post some different images when I get off work. And I should have payed closer attention. But in my defense A World Of Fish in Minneapolis can get very busy and in such a tight space people bumping into me and brushing up against me kinda triggers the anxiety and by that point I’m not listening and just wanna leave. But I do appreciate all of the responses so far. Thank you

The first photo definatly looks like a Monti with red or green polyps on a lighter base. Sunset or superman monti maybe?
