I love these guys, they eat, open during the day, eat more. I love the red one in the middle...niiiice. I can't wait to see the red open up, I bet it is a beauty.

first one to the left looks like a

dendrophyllia coarctata

second one could be either dendrophyllia arbuscula or balanophyllia ponderosa or just a tubastrea sp. (common sun coral) can you post a picture with its tentacles ?

the last one is the only other one that has been offered, which is very new and not common in the hobby, i believe its dendrohpyllia coccinea.

clownfishcrazy- did you buy them from a lfs? I think those a just really big tubestrea. The dendros are easily as big around as your finger/thumb on the trunk, so I don't think those are the ones
