Coral ID?

[AydenLincoln]

I visited the Scranton aquarium for the first time today and fell in love with these corals. Can someone please ID them?

Looks like some super happy chalice, or maybe stylo.

Purple looks like starlight chalice and blue - possible stunner chalice

Turbinaria cup coral

WWC Electric Daisy / Stylo
UC Hollywood Stuner / Chalice
TG Party Crasher / Cyphastrea

I think the two on top are hammers and the one on the bottom is a torch.

All 3 are Oxypora

Yup I think you are right on all of them.

Wait, am I seeing the wrong photos? I don't see any stylocoeniella or Cyphastrea.
These are the photos I'm seeing, and all of the corals look like Oxypora.

This is an electric daisy stylo

I agree with Oxypora (chalice)

Never heard a chalice called oxypora? I didn't think there was any "pora" in LPS?

Chalices are corals of genera formerly from the family Pectiniidae (now split up into Lobophylliidae and Merulinidae). This family used to comprise of the genera Echinophyllia, Oxypora, Echinomorpha, Paraechinophyllia, Echinopora, Mycedium, Pectinia, and Physophyllia (Pectinia and Physophyllia are generally not regarded as chalices).

There are many LPS with the suffix "-pora:" Oxypora, Echinopora, Goniopora, Alveopora, Astreopora, etc.

It looks more like underlying skeleton than fleshiness.

These are all chalices. The top picture left red and yellow one is a JF Goldmeister chalice
