I just got a couple of corals a while back and trying to ID them is a PITA. Maybe one of you have seen any of these acros identified before, or even have one already. Please help me.
First one
Notice the fragging??
Second one
Third one
Thanks in advance, John

Just a guess but #2 looks similar to a Acropora plana and #3 has the coralite structure of a A. rudis. I didn't look through all of the options though and I don't have COW.
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

Thanks Scott. Any ideas on the first one? I just hate to referring them as a "green acro with purple tips that is stag-like."

Can you get a close pic of the first one? Just need to see radial coralites but if you can get a axial in there too that might help.
