Picked up some random frags on sale at my LFS, trying to diversify my tank with some new corals but need some help ID'ing these guys. Genus is good enough for me, I'm OK if I don't know whether it's a snazberry gumdrop vs. a purple people eater.

This one has what looks like red polyps (they haven't fully extended yet). Looks similar to Jason Fox Porites?

These polyps are kind of blue/purple. Cyphastrea maybe?

The base is kind of green on this, looks to me like montipora digitata?

Best guess is some kind of Favia?

How big are the polyps?

Picture 3 looks Digitata, picture 4 looks Favia/Favites.

Picture 1 looks like maybe a Styloconiella?
Picture 2 is possibly a Montipora (Megachrome or Mystic Sunset)
 
1. Porites or Stylocoeniella; would need to look at skeleton to be sure
2. Montipora
3. Montipora cf digitata
4. Favites pentagona
