Hello,
I have purchased two mystery frags the other day and was hoping for some id help. I beleive they are booth sps but I am having trouble with the second. Can you make any guesses?
I have also attached a photo of a third that I had though was a mushroom, it has been living with my zoa's for about six months but the more I look at it the more I think it might have a skeleton. It is beside the feather duster.

Just realized I have this in the wrong forum! Can someone move this for me?
 
Second looks like cyphestrea. Do you have a closer pic of the first one that shows the coralites.

the mushroom is still alive but unhappy if not growing, likely because it has no hwere to open with the zoas on top of it.
 
Top left is a mystic sunset montipora, top right is exactly as Heist said, a hollywood stunner chalice, and the discosoma is...
 
... Totally not a discosoma, but looks to be more like a button scoly.
 
meteor shower /m sunset chalice def not hollywood ,nice, yep donut or scoly,nice score,why arent the polyps open
 
I was wondering if it could be a scoly.
The polyps are a mystery if you are referring to the Zoa's. They where doing great for approx. 6 months then they slowly started receding which allowed me to see the scoly again. I believe my water was to clean so I started feeding heavier to bring nitrates back up which seems to be helping as half of the zoas have started to open again after a couple months of regression.

here’s my Hollywood stunner for reference, a Montipora frag fell on top of it and there was some bleaching out but it’s already starting to come back
 
I would adjust light and go Blue at75% and white at 20% as whites seem a tad bright
How os your water flow ?

Cannot change lights, only on, off and actinic modes. Water flow is pretty good, have a power head and return pump in a small tank.
 
1. Montipora mollis maybe ? mystic sunset?
