Setup a new 60 gallon cube reef tank and everything is going amazingly well. I figured I’d kick start things with some frags and forgot to write down what they were. Wondering if anyone can me identify what I’ve got so I can research care and optimal placement in the tank. TIA

I believe…From bottom pic and up, looking at acans, blastomussa, favites or favia(open brain coral), the first picture looks like dragon soul favia. The second pic may be micromussa, but not sure. Is it a hard coral? Kind of looks like a trumpet as well.

I’m unsure. It’s got some form of a skeleton underneath and I damaged it when moving to the new tank. It seems to be making a comeback but was thinking it was some form of acan?
 
1. Dragon Soul Favia
2. Trumpet/candy cane coral. . . Maybe????
3. Agree with first comment (I am no good at favia type coral ID)
4. Bastomussa
5. Micromussa lordhowensis

I’m think that one’s is actually a candy cane. Maybe will look like this guy one day…caulastrea candy cane
