Agreed. Third definitely looks like how my blasters look when they close up.That first one looks like a lobo to me, second is acan and third is a closed up blasto

Looks like my Merletti, so I am leaning towards @kopoboi Blasto also being a Merletti.A. echinata, A. lordhowensis, Blasto merleii, but could be wellsi?
I would say torch but.. can you get a clearer picture, maybe zoomed in more? Also a picture of the base of the coral would help.
I will tell you right now, I have three Aussie Lords (the one in your second pic). Tw of those I don't know the exact name for. One of those two arrive was solid Orange in color, exactly like the peel of a ripe orange. It is now yellow-orange. The second one was like in your pic with red and some blue stripes. It too is now yellow-orange, and the stripes are faded but still barely visible. The first one I got as part of a beginner frag pack from World Wide Corals (although, really the one I got in th pack had an infection and died within two days of going into the tank, but they sent me a replacement for it), and the second one was a freebie from one of their live sales back in February. The third one I purchased during that said live sale, a Frosted Forest Aussie Lord. It was and still is a vivid dark green with blue accents.Thanks guys. I'm trying to get 3 different colorations of each kind of coral but I want them to be on their rocks together to keep aggression down. When I was there I was looking at so many corals guy was very helpful but names were flying left and right and thought it would be on receipt.
That was gonna be my other guess, but as I have never seen one in person, I was basing it only on the pics I have seen of frags from the World Wide Corals site, which are generally top down. Hence why I asked to see the base of the coral, since torches have bigger(longer? taller? eh, whatevs) skeletal bases compared to galaxeas.Galaxea
Forgot to mention in my previous response talking about my aussie lords, they aren't usually considered to be very aggressive corals. At least they don't usually go out of their way to attack other corals as compared to say, an Echinata. However anything that lands on them will get digested. I have seen my Frosted Forest lord eat bristle worms as well as an Interstellar Mushroom that had unglued itself from its frag plug and got swept into the Frosted Forest's mouth.Thanks guys.

I could not find the post that I remember seeing about the levels of agression across different types of Acans. It was probably in one of the live sale threads, and I am not about to spend time going through hundreds of pages to find the post. So...sorry bro.Forgot to mention in my previous response talking about my aussie lords, they aren't usually considered to be very aggressive corals.

I remember someone talk about th aggression levels in "Acans" somewhere...let me see if I can find it and I will post it here.
