I just got these today, but the LFS couldn't tell me the exact name. I am thinking the Shreck Green one is a Branching Montipora (??). The pink one they said was Seriatopora (aka Bird's Nest), but this does not look like any Bird's Nest I have seen. The tips are rounded and blunt, more like a Stylophora. I also got a combo piece with a green and purple species of Pocillopora on it. I plan on fragging these and wanted to make sure that I got the proper names when selling/trading.

The second one looks like porites IMO, but you might have more luck if you put this in the ID forum (http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=482)

Mark~
I have not been on here in a while. I was looking for the ID forum and couldn't find so I just looked for the next closest title. Is there a way to move this without re-starting the thread?

Ok, so the pink one (top picture) is Stylophpra? That is what I thought. The second one is Porites? What is the difference between this and Branching Montipora? It looks almost the same to me. Thanks for the ID!
