Just picked up 3 frags from my local shop and wanted to get a ID on them. Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to R2R.

It's difficult to ID acropora frags because the growth patterns aren't prominent yet.
Images need to be under white lighting to recognize coloration.

Yea I wasn’t sure which photos to upload but here they are under white lighting
Hmmmm, I think you need to hone in on your photo skills.
Try this, a flashlight from above shining on them.
Or, move them back farther under the light.

As it is now, the light is casting shadows on the frags in the frame. You need to get light in front of the frags somehow. This will allow some color to come thru not just shadows.
