Need ID on Some Acros
Just a few I would really like to have a good ID on
This one is an encrusting type montipora (BRIGHT GREEN polyps on a light brown base)
Next one I have no idea at all on:
and a small frag of the same(a little better shot of colors):

My guess would be a millepora on the 2nd one, but that is only due to how hairy the polyps look. It also looks like a teal acro that I have seen before. 
I have no idea on the first one, but I really like it.  |

You would think it is a milli, but it really is an acro. I saved that piece from an LFS. Fuzziest acro I have ever seen.
The second one, the pic does it no justice at all. Only one I have ever seen.

Not a Millie. they have "spikey" coralites.
Looks like a fuzzy acro. I have a blue one that is 3 times more fuzzy than that.... I'll see if I have a pic.

Well they're all pretty sweet, and I couldnt be of any help, so I decided to be a doof about it instead. I'll take that frag next time you're driving through Houston.

the second and third pics are Acropora Tenuis... I had a frag of one myself, but it didn't make it through all the changes in my system. I hope to get another soon though as it was really neat watching the polyps waving around in the tank.

IDs
First one is probably some sort of Montipora danae and the next, IMO, is Acropora tenuis. I have a really electric blue tenuis and its one of my favorite corals in my tank.
