Got these SPS frags at my LFS.

Anyone know what they are called? I'm a tad colorblind so I can't help with what colors they really are.

Here's some pics, blue and some white. 4 different corals.There are all noticeably growing and look happy. Not sure but the one looks like it's getting blue tips, they used to be white.

Any info would be great.

Thanks

Probably all generic green Acro's, they might develop more coloration as they grow out but I don't believe they are anything with a unique hobby/trade name. The one with bluish tips looks a lot like one I have, it grows super fast compared to most Acro's.

This one also. I thought it was all baby blue and how it grew at my LFS. Brought it home and it was white! Haha, my bad, being slightly colorblind sucks.

Last few days now and it has started to turn blue(I think) are the tips and polyps are starting to show. When I put the white light on, it appears to be darker at the tips. Blue, I couldn't say but definitely coloring up at some tips.

It could be liking my new SB Reef light.

Yeah, I figured they were regulars. Is it just called an Acro or is there actually a scientific name? They all have different characteristics.

Thanks

You've got a couple different species there. One look like it might be a SSC, very good growers and one of the best colored acros IMO. Others look like green milli and stag. Green with blueish tips is probably a tort. All fairly easy SPS and good growers. Hopefully they will color and grow out nice for you.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. They were the brightest frags so I got them. Surprised about the possibility of a SSC, hope it colors up nicely.
