Please help me ID these 4 corals

[ChgoGoodGirl]

Got these corals pretty cheap from a lps but none were tagged so not sure exactly what they are. Id hate to just guess and end up placing and feeding them wrong.
I figure #2 is a ricordea of some sort and #3 is maybe galexea?

2 looks like ricordea
3 looks like euphyllia
4 looks like stylophora or pocillopora

 

[ChgoGoodGirl]

Thanks! Are there different types of euphyllia?

Now i just need help figuring out #1.
A favia maybe? Maybe some kind of monti?

Euphyllia includes hammers, torches, frogspawn, octospawn, elegance, etc just all the ones that kinda have tentacles and to the wavy dance. Not anemones tho they’re their own thing. They all like at least enough current to make their tentacles sway back and forth, not just in one direction. They can be fed larger meaty foods like frozen fish food, just make sure whatever you give them is half the size of the mouth or they can choke!

 

[Angel_Anthias lover]

Kinda hard to tell what euphyllia, id guess a torch,but yea theres differentbtypes, but maybe send a photo when it opens for a better ID.

 

[PicassoClown04]

I second the torch, a more open picture would be nice. I think your first one is some kind of favia.

It could also be a hammer with not very apparent hammer heads, my hammer at night looks pretty similar to a torch so it could be that too, not much difference in care though

#1 looks to be a dead Lithophyllon, #2 is a blue ricordea florida, #3 is a galaxea no doubt, and #4 is a stylophora of some sort.
Good day and God bless!

I was thinkingit could be galaxea too, but wasnt sure.

If it is, you want to keep it far away from other corals, it is highly territorial and can strongly sting corals within and possibly over a 6 inch radius.

1: doesn't look so hot, honestly it looks a little like Leptoseris to me. Suppose it could be Lithophyton too, as someone suggested.
2: Ricordea florida
3: Galaxea fascicularis
4: Pocillopora, probably P. damicornis if so. Or Stylophora

The genus Euphyllia has actually been restructured recently.
Currently the only species in the genus Euphyllia are E. glabrescens, E. paraglabrescens and E. cristata, the Torch corals. The rest have been placed in the genus Fimbriaphyllia, a revived genus from when they were first described. So the hammers and frogspawn are now F. ancora, F. paraancora, F. divisa(branch frogspawn no longer has a separate species from wall types), also F. yaeyamaensis.
Elegance corals are Catalaphyllia jardinei
I also disagree with the choking part, their mouths can expand to fit around foods, and they'll reject what they can't eat.

I was going to say, 3 looks more like a galaxea than any euphyllia.

Also, Elegance Corals are technically Catalaphyllia, not Euphyllia. Although, the Euphyllia, Catalaphyllia, and Galaxea genera are all under the family Euphylidae. But then again, so is the genus Ctenella, which is what most people think of when they picture a massive generic brain coral colony.

Thanks so much for all your help!
Sad about the Leptoseris but that was ony $5 so im not going to beat myself up about it. It's still florescing (sp?) so maybe theres still hope for it.

II have a torch and this looks nothing like it close up. heres a different pic. (Looks like a bunch of small flowers thats why i was thinking galexea )

 

[ChgoGoodGirl]

So just checked on the coral again and the one we thought was dead is extending polyps. We i get in close, i can see thm all swaying in the current. Yippee! Heres another pic. Just want to make sure the consensus is Leptoseris so i can glue the frag down on the right spot.

 

[ChgoGoodGirl]

Oops video shows a better view but heres

 

[AcroNem]

Polyps are extended very far, I still think it is likely Leptoseris.

 

[ChgoGoodGirl]

Awesome thanks!

 

[boacvh]

Not an expert at all but in that video it kinda looks a bit like one I have, a plating hydnophora? Maybe check against pics of that one too

 

[Mr_Knightley]

Nevermind, that is still very much alive! Nice piece. I still believe it to be Lithophyllon.

 

[AcroNem]

This is probably right. It looks like Hydnophora pilosa. Can't believe I didn't think of that

 

[ChgoGoodGirl]

I did find a pic of a blue eyed Leptoseris that looks very similar. But ill look up a hydnophora. Thanks for the heads up!
