Hi, I am sorry if these may not even be sps corals... but I currently have a few frags that I would like to identify, so I can plan accordingly to their lifestyle . I have one frag rack and some seem to be getting close to others and I am afraid they will harm the others.

The duncan I had ended up touching one of the (favia i think?) and resulted in it discoloring... well I guess this could have been because of something else but it only happened to the part I seemed to remove that was touching the duncan head. Sorry if these are not in the right place, If I can differentiate between sps and lps I will fix the post.

Going off the second picture, Starting with the big one at north, and going clockwise from there, I see: Acan (green with red center) Chalice, Platygyra, and montipora.

In the fourth picture, the coral in focus appears to be another acan.

Both Acans and platygyra are LPS, the chalice can be either or depending on who you talk to, and the montipora is an SPS.

Thank you for this! I appreciate the identification despite my lack of photography skills :p

Lol I didn't even realize the picture had him in it! That was intentionally my profile picture. The other day he felt like going for a swim and just started cruising around the tank and checking stuff out. He has horrible vision so he was bumping into walls and whatnot. It was really funny because my watchman goby is usually in his hole with the shrimp, but this time he was mid-tank watching the shrimp.
