Hi!
I’m trying to put together a register of our corals at my work at a public aquarium and would be very grateful if you helped me ID some LPS corals.
I’ll give them letters to keep them sorted here in the thread. I’ve got my own guesses but I’m more skilled in IDing SPS corals
Scientific names please. All those trade names just makes my head spin :)

A is toxic pie chalice, I think it is an Oxypora crassispinosa
I would say B is Mycedium elephantotus
C and E look like Plesiastrea versipora
D looks like Echinophyllia sp.
F , I’m not sure, I have something similar, I’ve never known what it was.

I hope that helps. Not sure on the answers but maybe they will help you find the correct ones!

F almost kinda looks like a lobophyllia but im not so sure
Thanks!! Perfect. Now I have some more names to look up and compare.
Anyone else? :)
 
Next up, two more LPS :)
And I'm still not sure on B and F. So please let me know if you have any more suggestions! Thanks!

G and H are defiantly types of favias. G looks like the kind I usually see called moon coral even though moon coral and favia are the same thing :). Believe the scientific name of favias is Isophyllia rigida
