My tank finally got to the point where I could try some SPS. Now I find myself fascinated with the different types and colors. I'm basically going with easier type frags to start with but so far over 2 months everything is thriving but I did lose a millie. It bleached out the same day it was delivered. I had dipped it and put it in lower light to acclimate and color disappeared...oh well, all the others are showing growth on the stems and good color. I think an emerald chopped a limb branch off one though but it has grown back again. I just wonder if my radions are giving enough par for the long term? I'm trying some different locations like middle tank with cheaper frags to see what happens. Balancing a mixed reef lighting can be tricky.

Glad to have you aboard the stick train. Next stop, removal of softies to make more room for new rock and more real estate.

Funny you mention this because I have thought about how to create more frag spots on the rocks while leaving enough space for growth

Did you buy them online? You can probably look up your order history and match them by searching them on the seller's site. Sometimes they even show thumbnails in the history. I had to do that with a few of mine. Or you can take pics and see if the seller can help out by identifying them or post here and see if the community can help. :-)
