Jeremy--I'd swap a few frags if your up for it, let me know.  I'm over in payson.

SPS #3 is a montipora digitata from the pick, #2 looks like a staghorn, and #1 looks like a tort maybe (that's one I'd like a frag of)?

Nate
Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?

Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing

The pictures of eagle eyes that I have seen online have a different color of mouth.  The ones that I have seem to be just a solid orange color throughout.  Do I just have a morf that is all the same color?

I will be selling frags of some of these in the next week or so, but I needed to figure out what all I have first.

Jeremy,

sorry i meant #2 a blue stag, i agree with Nate on #3 the 1st sps looks like a blue tort. If it has green on it, it possibly might be an Oregon Blue Tort

What are the colors in person on the second zoa? I hate trying to figure it out as sometimes colors don't come out true to what they are.

They honestly look just like in the picture.  The skirt is a pale light green/yellow  The middle area is red.  Not bright, but a deep color.  The middle is kinda of a purple/gray ish color.  They look just like the picture.

1st one is BamBams or something close to it. The second zoas look more like eagle eyes than anything. BUT especially in zoas there are 50x as many unnamed color morphs than there are named ones. So just because it doesn't have a name doesn't mean it's not cool. As for SPS corals: #1 definitely looks like a tort, #2 Blue Stag (also sometimes called Blue Slimer), #3 is Green (Montipora) Digitata.

First one looks more like bambams. Also might be oxides.
Sps #1 - blue tort. I have the same nice color morph with multiple colors at the base. One of my favorite  Tongue
