Lets Play the NAME GAME...
I know the names of 2 of the 4... upper left and lower left... Lets see if I am correct! I have no clue about the 2 on the right though!
 I think this turned out pretty cool, I invite everyone to post pictures here of their "mystery SPS" and lets see if we can get ID's for them!? |

ID an SPS coral? That'll be the day!
 Lower left appears to be a Montipora sp. and the lower right perhaps a Stylophora sp. or Pocillopra sp.? |

Mike,
You've got a bit closer pics of the two on the right? I agree with Scott on the bottom one, could be either Pocillopora or the Stylophora, now, the upper right looks like the monti but I need a closer look. And I'm not saying that I can id it either...  Just like to have a closer look is all I too have one that I gave up on any remote possibilities to id. Acropora sp. it is. I've never seen polyps this large on any of the acros that I have.

Sure thing Gene, these are 100% crops from my 10D. Sorry they are still pretty big files...
  Once again for those of you on dial-up, I'm sorry they are so large! |

Oops sorry Samper I forgot to answer your question... I have both for about a year now and they have each doubled (at least) in size since I got them.

I'm gonna throw my hat in this ring and say M digitata on the top right and Stylophora pistillata. In other words, I agree with Sue.

Hi staugsps, Welcome to Reefland!
I'm not sure about it serving as a shell for a hermit unless it has encrusted over the shell, but perhaps your talking about a Yellow Porites porites? |

1 maybe millepora, but possibly abrolhensis
2 M. digitata 3 Not capricornis, but foliosa (ridges are too deep for a cap) 4 not a pocillopora, but probably a stylopora
