Hello,

I recently got my hands on 3 low cost LPS frags with no identifiers (the two small ones are zoas), and was curious to confirm what these corals are for optimal placement. I'm pretty new, so I am interested in learning to better identify species too. My best guess is the top is some kind of favia, and the bottom 2 large frags are chalice corals, just not sure which type.

I appreciate any help, thanks!
