From Left to Right...

Not sure
Orange Setosa
Not sure. Possibly a Green Poci?
Forest Fire Digi?
I was told this was a Red Dragon

Not sure this is a green poci. It has the fuzziness they do (a bit like porites)

This is orange setosa right?

Looks almost blue here, but this is a dark red. Could this be Red Dragon? I have coral lenses on order so I can get better pictures.

Green is not a poccilipora. Looks like a psmachora or a type of pavona coral. Forest fire digi(I have one) has green this looks like a regular red digi but only time will tell. The smooth skin does look like a red dragon. You are spot on with an orange setosa(great coral love mine). The first one could be a an oregon tort but it is usually completely blue(used to have one ) but if it has a tint of green it could be a cali tort. hope this helps.

That is VERY helpful. Thank you!

I think you are right the Green is def not a pocci. I'll take a closer look at the Pavona and Psammocora pictures.

I have other frags of the red that have hints of green to them. Not sure why this one does not. I guess it is either too little or too much light.

Setosa is awesome isn't it? :)

I have other frags of the Red dragon, they are almost pastel in color.

Not seen any green in the possible tort. That thing that throws me about this one is that it doesn't seem to have any polyps near the bass of the brances. Could it be a Hawkins Echinata?

I appreciate this is hard to tell with out better pictures. Lenses should be here in the next few days.

Thanks again.
 
I don't think its an echinata as the growth structure and polyps don't look like it. It def looks like some sort of tort by the structure.
