    Thanks eveeyone!! I actually am ending up selling 2 sps that was already in the tank. And 2 of the least nicest ones.
    3 of them are acro mille, one is an ora green birdsnest I think, one is a monti cap, monti digi, pink birdsnest, and 2 acros I dont know what they are. I'll post pictures of them all opened up tomorrow. The acro mille were the first to open. One is like a pinky orange and the other is a dark redish brown and other is an ugly light brown (one I am selling lol). I already have a green and pink mille... They look sooo nice! The one that looks like an ORA green birdsnest is soooooo pretty. It's either a birdsnest or a stylo, but the growth pattern looks identicle to a birdsnest, so I am pretty sure that's what it is :p

    Ok. Got some pictures of them all opened up :) Everything looks happy!
    Needless to say, my tank is now an sps dominated tank! :p
    Lunar Eclipse Zoanthids. Looks quite faded to me though, maybe they will get their color back with the lighting I have.

    Pink Acropora Millepora. I love this one. He look beautiful sitting next to my green acro mille!

    This guy I think may possibly be considered "red". Another Acro Mille.

    Pink Birdsnest, but this one is darker than my other pink birdsnest.

    The next 2 I am not 100% sure what they are but I have an idea.

    This one I think is an ORA Green Birdsnest. I don't think it's Poccillopora or a Stylo because the growth pattern looks identical to a birdsnest to me. What do you guys think?

    This looks similar to a Red Planet but there is no red. I hear in low lighting conditions Red Planets will turn all green and the previous reefer had it under only a dual T5HO fixture. So, maybe in a few weeks I may see some red start appearing? It's set as high to my lighting as I could get it. You guys have any idea what it is?

    The first is a birdsnest for sure; no doubt. The second might be a RP; time will tell. The structure looks right at least.

    Yea, I was pretty set on the first being a birdsnest. I've seen many pictures and always wanted one :p So when I saw my buddy put that one in the bag I was like OMG! Same with the pink and red mille... I had been looking for a mille in those colors so I was excited for those too!
    I know what you mean about the one possibly being a RP. I looked them up and it does look VERY similar in the structure. Then I read that they will turn all green in lower lighting, which made sence to me knowing what he had these frags under. I put it up on my highest rock. It's about 10" away from my 4x24w T5HO+ 2 LED strips. I'm just hoping it's close enough for it to color up if it is indeed a RP. I suppose you are right, only time will tell.
