Can anyone assist me on naming the coral I bought?
Got them from a frag swap and the vendor couldn’t tell me much.
Thanks in advance.

I was thinking the same as above.....

First could be a montipora(sunset monti perhaps? Looks very similar to mine), second could be a green poccilipora(better shot would help), third looks to be some sort of palythoa/zooanthid.

Agreed.

The first one may be a montipora.No guess on the brand name though.The third could be a paly or zoa colonial type coral. A clear, top down shot would be helpful.

The orange one does look like either a bloodsucker as stated above or a Bowtie Blaster. It’s a little grainy so it’s hard to be 100% sure

Pretty sure it’s a bloodsucker, thank you guys for your help.

I agree on answers for #1 and 2 ( cyphastrea and Psammocora )
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
