Default Anyone want to hazard a guess? Pics!

First, yes, i have a caulerpa problem
Now...
I got this little tan bit of NOTHING thrown in the bag for free from the LFS back in March....and he grew! Started out maybe 1/2" and is now maybe 2.5"? plus encrusting. I can't get a good pic of the colours but it's turned out quite pretty, almost looks like a bit like a tricolour acro in colour or something. What do you think? The true in-tank colours are a darkish orangeyyellow, purple, pink with a greeney/blue sheen.
Sorry about the quality - it's a good camera, I just suck with it!!






Also throwing in a 2 pic of the tiny brown SPS that was also a freebie that has turned onto this big brown-with-pink tipped THING! Great PE on that one but I don't know what it is, seems happy tho. (I really do try to keep track of names but even they didn't know what these were)

First pic: allready 4x the size of when I got it:



Now. (8 months later)




aaand...one more pic: The pink zoos I got at the swapmeet that i'm ever so happy with. No real need for an ID, I think they're pink Martinis, just wanted to share the photo I <3 'em!

My guess on #1 is maybe A. valida.

#2 is Montipora digitata.

#3 is "pink zoo" or maybe "pink paly".

Yup, I'd buy that. (I googled A. Valida) Can't wait till it starts branching out. Right now it seems to be more focussed on encrusting everything around it. I'm glad I didn't throw it out about a month after I got it I was pretty sure it was dead!

And the other is definiately a monti digi, I wonder why it's stayed so brown? I have a brilliant orange one and a bright green one (thanks Marie!) that have stayed true to colour....maybe that one is just meant to be brown...Maybe I'll call it a "milk-chocoate finger coral" to make myself feel better about it!
