Hello all,

Can I get help with the ID for these SPS?

One problem is the size is unclear from the pictures. For example if the 'birds nest' was 3 inches in diameter it might be different than if it were the size of a pencil. Do you have any reason to think your friends told you the wrong thing (BTW - there are lots of types of 'birds nest' coral). Your birds nest might be one. I would think a yellow digi - would be thinner at the ends? The German Blue - looks right. Not sure about the branching Monti. The Cornbread one looks like a Digi - but - cornbread I dont believe is the 'type' - instead - its the company that sold the coral.
Again - the problem is - (to me) - is the size. For example - as very small frags - so many corals look the same - they can all start out as a small lump - as they grow - and you see the pattern, etc - you can tell more simply. Hope this helps

Thank you @MnFish1
I asked cause when I posted in my FB, there were some disagreement.

They are all small frags at this time. 1-2inches max

I guess the one I am just worried if I will be able to grow them. These are my 1st SPS.
I asked for beginners SPS and these are what I've given

I think you're in good shape from that standpoint! Having said that (you can look at my tank) - I had tons of coral growing like crazy. I could never grow birds nest. No clue why - the store I frequent said 'this should be teh easiest coral"

1: anacropora (green goblin?)
2: maybe montipora stellata?
3: stylophora
4: green digi
5: birdsnest

That’s my $0.02

Hey @BranchingHammer
I think you got them right.

No 3. Can be a digi actually.
