Need Help Identifying my SPS

optimisticdingo · May 13, 2021

Hey guys! I'm needing help identifying some of my SPS. The orangish one I got at a local frag show for free and I have no idea what it is. I know the red one is a Monti but don't know the specific name. I know the blue/pink/green is an acro but, once again, don't know the specific name. Any help is appreciated.

Pavona; monti. setosa; can't keep up with acro names anymore.

I was wondering if that was a pavona. The ridges made me think it might be leptoseris but idk a whole lot about SPS so I can't really tell the difference when it's just a small frag

From my understanding pavona and lepto are in the same family and there aren't necessarily super clean lines between the two. I was sold a green lepto that looks nothing like any green lepto I can find but looks almost identical to a neon green pavona...

For the first one, I wouldn’t say lepto. Could be pavona but a clearer pic would help. Or let it grow more. And I second that the second pic is monti setosa. Not sure about the acro
