Yup another one of "those" threads. I don't care about fancy designer names on them but wanted to see what type they were.

The first one might be Acropora aculeus depending on how it grows into a colony.
Acropora aculeus. Corals of the World - Photos, maps and information about corals and reefs

The second one is hard to say. There is nothing to go by except a few axial and radial corallites, which could belong to many different species. That one has to grow out some more to get a better idea.

The third one is kinda the same story, too small to say for sure. I might be able to get a better idea if I could see the radial corallites, But the picture is either too dark, blurry, or the polyps, are covering the radials.

It is so hard to ID small frags. They often are still coloring up and are hard to distinguish until more of the coral's structure is seen.
