I don't know some of the SPS I have... jus bought them based on looks. If you can hazard a good guess, thx so much.

4. : I think the left piece is a blue-tip, green body tenius, while the right is a purple hoekie(sp?) ?

Only confident to I.D the second one..good old familiar A. millepora?

4. : I think the left piece is a blue-tip, green body tenius, while the right is a purple hoekie(sp?) ?

Yep, both guesses are correct

[madmac]

Thx FuEl, I thought it could be that too, but was thinking more along the lines of a prostrata. BTW, are all millies considered as table SPS, because sometimes they take the form of a table. If I can show you a side profile of that pic, it would be a flat top...

[blueheaven]

Milleporas can be classified as tabling although I have seen a few that extend from a base rather than extend out into a table like a hyacinthus

I can show you a pic tomorrow of a millepora I have that is growing in a table form

[madmac]

That's what I thought BH, I've seen so many classification of millies, from tabling, to thin stem and I've seen the thick stem millies too, that it becomes so confusing. The ones that look nicest to me are the thick stem millies, stems bigger than 1cm. I think most call them millies because they share one common characteristic... being polyp harry.

This is my tabling type mille

It doesn't have a visible base and grows horizontally like a monti cap

[blueheaven]

And this is my non-tabling mille

There's a visible base and it grows upwards

[weileong]

Growth form and thickness of stem can depends greatly on the flow and lighting.
