Two for ID

[swannyson7]

I was thinking this one might be a humilis:

And wondering if anyone has seen a digitata like this... It has red polyps with a blue base on old growth, but a green base on the new growth. It was an accidental frag from a mother colony that has a greenish base. It was touching a BOP frag and the blue started to come out. It's held the blueish color for about a month thus far. Would you guys attribute it more to different lighting conditions, or the contact with the BOP?

First one isn't a humilis and really hard to tell exactly being so small... The second one looks like a atl green tip superman digitata... It's the nicest of all the digis IMHO....;)... Lol

Any guesses on species for the first one? Maybe I should move the mother colony of the digitata to see if I can bring out these colors! It's currently starting to poke the mantle onf my maxima, so one of them is going to have to move

Move it to lower light it should color up for ya... If I put mine in med to high light it's bone white with orange polyps when I move it to less light I got the green in it...

that yellow humilis looks healthy to me

Bump! Anyone have an ID on the species of the first one?

can you take a pick of the first coral from farther away,not a close up but a full coral shot.that would probably help with IDing it.also make the polyps close up before you take the pick so we can see the coralites.

that may be a humilis but i think its a gemmafera.

First one to me based on polyps, Tenius? Just a guess..
No idea on second one, dont agree with digi.
But it looks awesome, where can I get a piece of that?

Second one is definitely a digi and the I think the first one is too broad of growth to be a Tenuis

I'll try to snap a pic with polyps closed tomorrow when the lights come on.
