I don't really want the Kenya tree but would like the polyps. If I have to take both, I will. Aren't those Grandis polyps?

#9 is a Pavona, give it plenty of room, strong sting to other corals.

hynophora, most likely h.exesa or possibly a small h.rigida...pavona does not have such a dense skeleton or meaty polyps. both have very strong stings and kill most sps that they touch.

I'm pretty sure you got it from me and it is a Pavona.
The 1st pic is my colony, the 2nd the frag.
It's one of those gray area sps, acts like an lps but classified as sps. It sends sweepers, so it needs to have room around it.
It reminds me of grn shag carpet

I would call that a hydnopora and I would also say that number 9 is a hydno.

#10 appears to be a colt AKA Cladiella

6 is a montipora but likely not a digitata

Told ya! I was trying to get a good pic of mine but I couldn't get a clear shot. Very stinging coral!

Thanks for the Grandis polyps. They are still about 1/2 way closed. I hope they color up well in my tank. Not too many folks like them but I'm odd like that. I like snake polyps too...

Rod, you're free to call it what you want but it's a Pavona Decussata, not hydnopora.

sully the corals previously posted and that in your link are not the same. the image efrain posted clearly shows the hydnophore cones indicative of hydnophoras, the corals in this thread are hydnophora exesa. besides the hydnophores, the polyps are considerably larger and meatier, and skeleton is much more dense than P.decussata.
