Need help ID these colonies

[linjuncheung]

I’ve grown these from small frags but never know the name. Any educated guess?

Thanks.

first looks like a Bali shortcake, second looks like a. Hyacinthus to me, 3 is idk. All very nice and healthy looking. Good job!

I'd agree with these IDs, to be sure on #2 would need a pic with polyps retracted, it's likely hyacinthus or cytherea, but spicifera is another one that's hard to distinguish from hyacinthus.

Need a closer/ better picture of the first one but from what I can see it has some similarities with acropora donei.

Yes, #2 hyacinthus Acropora, aka red planet.

Well, like I mentioned there are a handful of species that are often and easily confused with hyacinthus, it would be impossible to tell without seeing more close up, polyp retracted pics as in OPs pic you can't clearly make out radial corallites arrangement OPs coral could easily be cytherea or spicifera instead of hyacinthus. Anthoceris is another commonly red/ pink tabling acro that when in a really high flow environment / compact growth resembles hyacinthus too.
When red planet was released back in the late 2000's there was a hot debate on RC whether it was a hyacinthus or spicifera because they can look almost identical.
