Are these frags you grew out? If so how do mg ago did you buy each one. That would help rule out stuff that got named more recently.

They kind look like Mari to me though.
 
These are all wild that I’m getting from my wholesaler. I know it’s a long shot but was just kind of curious. I’m not versed at all with the whole stick names..
 
names come from known lineage, especially for acropora. There are different names for the same corals as well which makes things confusing as 2 places can get in pieces of the same coral but name them differently. For maricultured its up to you to grow it out and give it a name if its worthy
 
How can they be named if you just said you just got them in from a wholesaler. Granted they're all wild at some point but when a coral is "named" it's because it is farmed and spent time in aquarium life . Your corals may look nice but wild colonies like that usually go to brown town for a while while they adjust to aquarium life . Of course there are some exceptions , but most of the time they come in real nice and take some time to "cook" . . But yea looks like a couple tenuis , milliepora

Wild and Maricultured pieces do not have lineage and therefore are not named. Be careful with those. I would highly recommend QTing for at least a month after you dip them, and expect some losses. Lots of pests come in on wilds and mari's. They also will not look like that when they arrive. Those pics are clearly taken under all blues with an orange filter and saturation turned up. I do not sell wild or maricultured pieces, but I do import them for brood stock occasionally. I keep them in my systems for a minimum of 12 months before I am willing to sell frags. At that point they are accustomed to captive conditions and have a good chance of survival.
