Hi everyone,
I got a handful of corals at a LFS sale yesterday. I asked the person there what these were, and he told me but I don't remember and many corals look incredibly similar to me even if they're wildly different so if you could give me a hand in naming the corals so I could look up what position, flow, feeding, etc is best for them that would be great.
I'm pretty sure they're mostly LPS but if I'm in the wrong spot let me know!
Contestant Number 1- (I think it might be galaxia, but I often have a hard time going from frag to colony)

Contestant Number 2-

Contestant Number 3- (I remember this one was supposed to be low light low flow?)(Being photobombed by a frogspawn correct?)

1 looks like Galaxea. 4 Alveopora. Not sure about 2 and 3.
My guesses are 1-galaxea, 2-favia, 3-chalice or favia but yes, photo bombed by a frogspawn, 4-aleveopora. All LPS
Thanks, I know 2 and 3 are different based on how they were at LFS. I'll have to check out those for myself to see if I could tell any closer or see if anybody else could second whatever 2 and 3 are.
