I had a little time to play with my camera, so I decided to try my hand at taking pictures of my corals under actinics. Some turned out great, others are so-so.
This post will serve two functions, 1 for me to show off my coral and 2 to have all of you tell my what my corals are.
 I will put ??? by the ones I am not sure of. Anyway there are a ton of pics, so hopefully I didnt overdue it. Thanks for looking

OK, here goes my guesses (please forgive the spelling):
1) Alveopora
2) Goniopora
3) Yellow Slimer
4) and 5) Frogspawn (#5 is a closeup)
7)Zoas (Eagle Eyes?)
8) Yellow Polyps
9)Galaxia
10) Zoas Again (maybe those are the Eagle Eyes? Where's Eva - she would know
)11)Superman?
12)??? not sure what type of Acan
13) Green Palys
14) Green Candy or Trumpet
15) - the rest I have no clue other than genus names
How'd I do? (At least on the first 14
 )BTW the pics are all awesome!
