Some SPS, anyone recognize?

[gig]

I know there is an ID forum, but it gets little traffic, plus, I want to show off some more of my stuff...I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with some names :)

1) recent frag I bought, deep red polyps, any idea?

2) not sure on this one, light green skin, red/pink accents and polyps

3) maybe a candlelight acro? no idea

4) not sure, ganulosa?

5) another mystery frag, polyps are circular

6) some sort of aussie coral, supposedly grows like a efflo, but not like a big plate

7) one more, bright blue

8) recent frag I purchased, believe this is a granulosa

9) sold as a ORA (didn't pay ORA price for it), but was browned, starting to shows some red and blue tips, crappy pic

Here's my opinion.
1. Unknown, too hard to tell at that size.
2. sarmentosa, and a nice one at that.
3. nana/ valida Aka tricolor acro.
4. I agree with your ID
5. Too hard to tell, the coral needs to form some branches with exposed coralites.
6. Not 100% sure on this one, but I've seen several so maybe its name will come up.
7. tenuis or similar
8. Again hard to tell without some growth.
9. Ora plum crazy or something like that.

thanks 29....

I think you nailed #2 acropora sarmentosa, while searching for it on google, I did identify #7 as a Acropora Hoeksemai (I remember now when i bought it, the guys said "hoeksemai") :)

#3 hard to say, almost looks like a pale "purple bonsai", which I know this one is not. The skin has always been fleshy colored with purple highlights and very bright neon green polyps.

#9, might be, the google images dont show blue tips, might just need to give it a few more weeks to color up.

also, I wonder if #4 is a Acropora Loripes?

1 is most likely pink lemonade, time will tell.

3 will turn darker purple if you give it less par.

4 could be loripes, but you won't know till it's grown out and even then it's still a guess.

7 is not a hoek, it's coralites are much too round and flat.

thanks again 29, I found a pic of a hoek from live aquaria, but them side by side, looks similar to me? plus that's what it was sold as:

I have this guy in the bottom half of the tank, I'd say about a 1/3 of the way up
