Help two coral IDs? Pics included

herozero · 05/01/2009, 08:48 PM

Got a 12 pack from Dr. Mac, 6 SPS and 6 hard corals. 6 acros plus a birds nest, brain, etc. I got two I can't read the ID off the bag, match from pictures on the website, or search for. I was hoping I could get some help? Much appreciated.

The plate type coral behind the colorless candy cane my buddy gave me.

Yellow something rather, looks like a ghoul or something from Ghosts and Goblins (old school NES for you junkies)

Favia. And a monti digitata?

That would be my guess also. The one in the top pick is definately a favia, and the bottom looks like a yellow digi

I say #2 is a Porites.

thanks for the help, i did get a confirmation on the yellow mystery, it is a porites, just no picture of it on their site.

favia is a good suggestion on the first one, i guess it will have to be a mystery favia :-)

is a favia best mounted on rock?
