Help Identifying Multiple Corals

[mcolangelo]

Hello everyone!
I recently acquired a full setup complete with fish and cora. Tank has been stable for about a month or so now. l and I'm hoping for some help identifying some of the coral.
TIA!

I think this one is Goniopora

No clue what this is (montipora?)

Another Montipora?

This one is hard to see and it's in really really rough condition (hoping it recovers). In the center of the image slightly to the right of the clown, Stylophora?

Another Montipora?

The coral on top/rear. I know the bottom ones are zoas. At first I thought these were mushrooms but now that I've got them in the main tank I think they're a large paly

This one is also in rough shape. Favia maybe?

Micromussa?

Another Micromussa?

Acropora?

Favia?

Micromussa?

 

[bubbgee]

Duncan.

 

[bubbgee]

Cyphastrea? Maybe..

 

[bubbgee]

Correct. Top is some kind of Paly. The bottom are zoas.

 

[bubbgee]

For the ones you call micromussa, yes they are correct--although the hobby still calls them Acans (short for Acanthastrea) since it's a way to distinguish from the smaller polyp ones (what we typically call Lord Micromussa in the hobby).

 

[bluemon]

Cyphastrea? Maybe..

Yup, meteor shower cyphastrea

Trying my best to identify these in all one go:

I will skip the ones I am not sure about but will post these in the same order

Duncan
Jack-O-Lantern Leptoseris
Hulk / Neon Green Leptoseris
Probably Pocilliopora or Stylopora
Meteor Shower Cyphastrea
Grandis Paly (top) Rasta Zoa (bot)
Favia
Not 100% on this one, some kind of brain
Blastomussa
Slimeball / Green Goblin Anacropora
Favia
Micromussa Lord

edit: Also you say that the first Favia is in a rough shape, but it is probably in the best shape out of all the hard corals. Maybe you are mistaking the browns in its coloration for dead spots? That is its natural coloration

edit2: adding some "hobby names" and correcting typos

1. Duncan
2. Jack o Lantern leptoseris
3. Montipora? Is my best guess as well
4. Pocillopora
5. Cyphastrea
6. Zoas and Palythoa Grandis
7. Favia
8. Micromussa (acan lord)
9. Blastomussa
10. Montipora of some kind?
11. Favia
12. Micromussa (acan lord)

Just my opinion.

Crazy those are Duncan’s! That was actually my initial thought when I first got them but I’ve never seen them in such a large colony and assumed it must be something different. I had a Duncan a long, long time ago in my last tank but it only had 3 heads coming off a single branch.

Thank you for the assist!
I’ll have to do some more research now and figure out best settings for flow and lighting. Might have to move some stuff around too.

Correct. I am mistaking the brown areas for dead spots. About 4 weeks ago those areas were completely white and I assumed they should be turning green. I just took another look now and it is a distinctly flesh covered. Very exciting! That coral spent about 2 weeks in a 20g tank with only ambient lighting and somewhat poor water chemistry while I rushed to setup the main tank.

 

[Sophie"s mom]

Correct. Top is some kind of Paly. The bottom are zoas.

THe zoas are Rasta zoas. not sure about the rest.

None of the "Favias" are Favia btw; trur Favia don't exist in the hobby

and yet it's still sold under this name...and most likely will continue to be so.
