Reef tank SPS corals identification.

[Miami Reef]

I found this image on google and I fell in love with the setup of corals. I honestly don’t know what they are called besides for the montipora and maybe that gsp on the bottom? Can you guys try to indentify as many as you can from here so I can research them and possibly purchase some for my tank?

Mostly acropora, a greenish turbinaria on the left, a blue (derasa?) clam underneath that, the one with tentacles underneath the blue fish is a gold torch coral. A few birdsnests near the top.

Bottom right coral that is purple with a green center is a blastomussa.

Thank you so much! I found this photo from BRS TV. What color is the one that I circled in black?

That looks almost like complete acropora tank - all of the branching ones. There are green star polyps on the bottom. The plating types are monti and maybe a turbinaria or scroll? There is a birdsnest on top of the turbinaria to the left.

That is a tiger maxima clam - very awesome, especially at that size.

Check out some Red Planet Acro, Garf Bonsai, Green Slimer, Ant Insigns and Hawkins Echinata for starters. That will get pretty close without any closer up photographs.

Sinularia I believe

Too big to be a blasto, lobophyllia most likely due to the mouth structure and texture of the outer rim area.

What color is the one that I circled in black?

That is a green sinularia leather or nephthea leather coral, most of them have that subdued almost green/white pastel color but some of them are a bright neon green color.

Don’t you mean pink?

It can be green or pink. The one in the picture you posted is most likely a green but it also depends on the lighting, camera settings, etc. as to how it looks in a picture.
