Coral Id?

I got a hand full of sps frags from an online auction and was wondering if anybody had a clue of what they might be?

Looks like an acropora and cyphastrea.

I was looking for a more specific name. I think the 1st one is supposed to be a yellow tip. The others weren't specified. I know there's so many diff types out there that it's probably impossible to put a name on them. Figured if there was a place to do it it's here lol. I will just have to throw some funky names on them myself.

There are exceptions but with spa it is very rare to just be able to give you the hobbyist name id from a picture. They just vary way too much depending on health/lighting/photoshop. Plus you may have 10 vendors importing the same maricultured acro and all 10 put their unique name to it.

Agreed. I'm gonna put some funky names on em lol. Which one should I charge $500+ for? JK JK
