    #2 colt coral, same family as Kenya tree
    #3 looks like a torch coral in the new pics,
    Agree with zoanthus on #4

    Backup your computer unlike me! I recorded all my levels, changes I made to my tank, etc on my old PC. Then I got a new macbook and transferred everything with my new external hard drive. That file didn't transfer properly, so I went to get it off my PC again it had crashed! Those PC's... ::)
