Coral id please?

[K626]

These 3 I'm on the fence in id. Anyone have definitive answer? Picture with and without flash.

Nice looking additions! first impressions told me favia, acan lord and favia.

Dragonsoul favia

Acan

Favia maybe war coral

The first two my thoughts are correct, thanks guys. The last one is an a$$hole. I have it placed where those sweepers go under the cave with the water flow directly to the filter intake in case it releases any in the hopes it doesn't shred anything. Nothing else in this tank has feeders/ sweepers out like this thing after dark. It's a 10 gallon tank, so space is a premium and I'm wondering if I should rehome it. We're currently breaking a bunch of rules in this tank already (the husband is figuring this out, I'm humoring him) and I'd really like to not have 1 jerk coral ruin this. We got them for 20 per plug over the course of last month so in his words it's a 'deal'.

Long sweepers sound like war coral or possibly acan echinata . I’m not knowledgeable enough to be able to tell the difference.

 

[K626]

Yeah, that's why I posted here. The favia rarely even puts out feeders, though they all get ab+, reef roids, and coral gumbo or rods 3x a week.

First two correct, but the third doesn’t look like a War Favia. I do wonder which one it is.
Here’s my War Favia:

Is that a base of bioblock? Interesting idea

Thanks, get many compliments for it. It’s Reef Ceramic Squares. I truly hate sand but didn’t want to go bare bottom and scratch up my glass.

Idea is for fragging, a simply pull apart and the coral is on two tiles.

 

[K626]

I'm stumped. It was simply labeled 'favia' so I doubt the lfs knew either.

It does look similar in structure to your pink side. I really hope it isn't, I kinda like it.

Suggested war coral mainly because of shape and color, wasnt really sure on size, its hard to tell sometimes with close up pics, war coral tend to have smaller eyes. Here is mine which looks very similar though.

The more images I see if war coral and their feeders/sweepers, the more I think it really is war coral.

Yep, pretty much exact match just a different color.

I do see that now! I might be wrong!

Here's a whole (total clutter) tank shot. Bottom middle.

Eh. Probably a random favia. Eyes look too big for war coral, I think. Maybe something more like this:

The eyes aren't that big. It's only a 2 inch frag at best.

They look only a bit smaller than the dragonsoul eyes. War coral are much smaller.
