Just based on these photos alone:I just got these corals from a mystery box and would like to know what corals these are
1. I’d guess some kind of chalice (chalice isnt my area so I cant give u a name)
2. It kinda looks like a shriveled Blastomussa to me. But then again the growth pattern doesnt seem like a Blastomussa unless the lfs stuck a few different frags of Blastomussa together. So probably something between a Favia or an Acans.
3. This is definitely not a porites. The coralites do not match. Is the coral rubbery in texture or hard? As I am also suspecting it could be a star polyp.
and most importantly, Welcome!!!
