Is the Acro Fenneri the same thing as the deep water acros? If it is, what is their lighting requirement to maintain good color? I did a google search on them and didn't get much.

The first i am thinking Acropora horrida. Maybe valida or nana if they were grown in high light and strong water flow.

For the second green Acropora i have two guesses;

Acropora parahemprichii

Acropora verweyi

And the last one, judging by the most normal grown branches i am guessing speciosa. Fenneri is possible too but i see a good amount of radial corallites.
