All wild colonies let us know how they do 4 u.

My 1 & only wild colony just started to STN,after 4 months of good growth.

ya they are all wild colonies. Of course, wilds are hit and miss, but I have pretty good luck with the ones from this lfs. As long as I am secure with the fact that they "probably" aren't going to remain the color they were when I bought them.

The middle one looks like A. Sarmentosa. I will have to pull out the book later for those other 2.

Saw lobster oj. post. The reason for the A.Sarmentosa is the flat green body with the pink polyps and the pink rounded off top. Stands out in a crowd.

#1 Insignis or Nasuta??? #3 A. Cerealis.

you may be right with Insignis. I'm not seeing Nasuta, but that' mainly because comparing it to my ORA Nasuta, the coralites are just completely different.

3rd one Cerealis sounds good to me

Thanks for al the help wentreefgirl
