first looks like could be hydnophora, second is some kind of acro, 3rd looks like porites, last looks like some sort of favia.

I think you are right about the porites, but i was hopeing for a little more info on the acro, and the favia. I have never seen a favia with such long tentacles. I would like to get more like it, and would like a specific colony type name if anyone knows.

the favia just has it's tentacles expanded. They will all do that under the right conditions. Could be a Leptastra (sp?), too.

I can't add much else about the acro-- species ID is hard on them. Looks like it's in a bit of a "dormant" stage because there's no contrasting growth tips. Would be interesting to see what it looks like after some time in good conditions.

I think you may be right about it being a Lepastrea. The acro has only been in my tank for a week. Thanks man!

last one looks like blasto merleti to me, what does the skeleton look like?

[saline solution]

it actually is closed, and kinda look likes the porites above do

[rssjsb]

3 and 4 look like different color morphs of lepastrea.

[saline solution]

i think that may be what it is, do they grow naturally in the florida/caribbean areas?

#4 could be some galaxia? I saw some at the LFS and thats what they had it labeled.

[saline solution]

not galaxia, tentacles only get about as long as a zoanthids do.

2nd kinds of look like staghorn acro.
