Purple Rim Cap and 2 various acros?

 

[PaulKreider]

Green slimmer is one acro

 

[Mr. Microscope]

looks like an okay deal to me. You weren't overcharged for them.

The cap could be a Leng Sy. Looks a bit on the tan side but the purple rim looks familiar to me.

Don't forge the Leng Sy lineage on it. That coral has legit history. There are over a dozen Montipora species that plate and they can all get a slightly different combinations of color with a purple rim. The Odds that that came from Leng Sy are very slim. It might not even be a Montipora capricornis. It's tough to say with out a very close detailed picture of the corallites, and even then you can't be 100%.

The first purple Acropora will be impossible to even give a good guess. The only info to go by are the radial corallites for now.

The green Acrop could be a slimer, aka Acropora yongei. There are a few other Acropora species that can be green with those corallites. If it doesn't grow into a stag then you know it's not A. yongei.

How do you know it's a M. capricornis? The color will not matter if you are looking for a proper ID.

Does the surface look like this;

Or small small ridges like this?

Maybe smooth like this?

Does it have long ridges like this?

I want to recommend you move them somewhat further apart, especially if that green one's a slimer.

 

[CLR48]

I did. That was just temporary till I set up my larger tank.

That is Montipora aequituberculata. This species almost always gets confused with Montipora capricornis. It is commonly found with a cream to green color with purple rim.
