1. Trachyphyllia geoffroyi
2. Chalice, maybe oxypora?
3. Zoanthus sp.

I agree with #2 & #3. The zoas are definitely utter chaos!

How do you tell between miami hurricane and Hollywood stunner?

I agree first is a trachy, third is utter chaos. Second is an oxypora chalice, I don't know the variations well enough but probably a Miami hurricane. Hollywood stunners have a more green background, Miami have a much darker background and the "eyes," have more color as far as I'm aware.

How fast did that stunner grow? I heard they are very fast growers.
