Coral ID

[smc03]

I purchased an LPS frag pack from a vendor that did not label the types of frag for each one. I asked them later, but they told me they didnt keep a record of which was sent to me :(. Im a little bit of a noob when it comes to coral (this is my first tank), I was wondering if someone could help ID these two for me so I what I got?

Sorry the pics are a little blurry, I was having trouble getting them any more clear via my phone camera.

Thanks,

The rectangular one could be a favia but it’s hard to tell. I don’t know about the middle one. #reefsquad?

Gonna need some white pics.

Maybe you can take the frags out and put them in a Tupperware for a moment .It will be easier to get a good photo without the blue lights above them. I could guess Laptastrea for the last one.

+1 with taking it out for a second. Very hard to ID with how many corals out there have that shape.

Ok thanks everyone. I will try and get some better pics and repost them.

First, welcome to the hobby. You have friends here to help.

And I really don't mean to make funny of you here, but you don't need the Reef Squad, you need a photographer! Sorry, I couldn't resist. I just took 150 photos of my full tank and some corals just this morning to get about 10 that were good ones!;Snaphappy

Turn off the blue lights or pull the coral out of the tank and put it in a glass or bowl of saltwater and then take photos.

And good luck. I look forward to seeing better pics!

Ok trying this again. I didn’t think about turning all the whites on. Seems to have helped (hopefully).

Thoughts?

1-Favia or maybe an unhappy goniopora, 2-leptastrea and 3-mycedium chalice.
