Can I get an ID on these guys. I know the green one is an acro but not sure what kind. Not sure what the other two are either. Thanks!

1.Acropora Valida tri color

2.Acropora divaricata green pink tips

3.Acropora Feneri
 
Is the Acro Fenneri the same thing as the deep water acros? If it is, what is their lighting requirement to maintain good color? I did a google search on them and didn't get much.

The first i am thinking Acropora horrida. Maybe valida or nana if they were grown in high light and strong water flow.

For the second green Acropora i have two guesses;

Acropora parahemprichii

Acropora verweyi

And the last one, judging by the most normal grown branches i am guessing speciosa. Fenneri is possible too but i see a good amount of radial corallites.
