Well, your 1st pic looks very much like a tort frag I received.

The 2nd pic looks exactly like my blue polyped stag when I 1st got it.

Old Yeller - that tort that you have does looks very similar to my coral, so for now I will say that its the same, untill someone thinks otherwise. Now I have a tort, SWEET! I just thought it was a cool looking coral, it has colored up more since I got it from the LFS, the tips are now light baby blue/white and they used to be just white, the yellow is more pronounced also.

WOW, so my stag might turn out like yours?? that would be sweet! I got it from a friend and the tips are starting to turn white/bluish, I was wondering if it would keep getting more blue. I've had it for like a month (maybe less) under halides, I don't think they were before. Crossing my fingers! and thanks for the ID.

I agree with mnreefman on the 4th. It looks a lot like the "Elkhorn Montipora." I think it is Montipora hirsuta, or M. stellata. Here is mine, and it looks pretty much the same!

The first and second pictures looks like an A. formosa or A. microphalma.

The third picture of the second post is an H. coerulea.

The forth and fifth pictures look like an A. millepora.

Another pic of my tort. I can't believe it's sprouted 2 branches in the last couple months.
