I picked up a couple frags from a local shop. I'm looking for some help identifying them. I have the green one low on the scape with a low to med flow. The other is about 7 inches from the bottom. Same flow conditions. Par would be around 100-150. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Need a better pic of the first one, second one is porites I think but a better pic would help.
Here's a couple new pics. Taking with phone. This is the best I can get. I'm literally holding the orange filter glasses in front of the lens.

I think those are both entrusting montipora like Montipora australiensis or something similar, though im less sure on the blue one.

Thanks for the help. The yellow green Monti isnt growing on the rock. The only thing holding it in place is the frag plug. Hollow underneath so I would assume it's of the plate variety or maybe while it was smaller it had nowhere to go but out?

I would say the first two are definitely SPS and require highish light. The second is definitely a Montipora.

The first looks almost Acropora like but I'm not positive.

Third is either a frogspawn (most likely) or a frammer if it has some elongated tips (which I don't see any).

The orangish one looks like a sunset montipora.
The purple/green one maybe a cyphastrea? Or, possibly the base of an acropora without any branches.

Other one is frogspawn for sure

I don’t know in 1&2 but 3 looks like an octospawn, part of the Euphyllia family.
Frogspawn, not Octospawn. Both are also Fimbriaphyllia, not Euphyllia (Euphyllia is also a genus, not family; family is Euphylliidae)
