Coral ID please =)

I think this is some type of monti? But it hasn't grown at all for like 5 months now only entrusting. Also what acro is that above it? It has a nice green and purple hue.

Zoa ID please. Kinda hard to see but it has a purple with orange streaks in the center going to the eye.

Got a question unrelated to IDing but I got a branching hammer that has tiny heads on its base that hasn't grown at all for 5 months now while the main colony has grown about 10x. I'm sure it's because it's not getting any light. So should I try to frag off those tiny heads? It's skeleton is showing. Also I notice each time I touch all my hammers\frogspwn it releases buds. Is there a way to keep them alive? I tried to glue them n they seem to melt away in a hr.

Thx in advance guys =)

Pretty hard to tell from the pictures but my guess is the acro may be a.nana & the monti looks most likely to be digitata.

Yea i was thinking valida or nana and the front coral looks like a digi too.

Thx man after some research it most likely is a tri-color valida. =) a very nice coral.pic doesn't show the dark green/purple/royal blue colorations. I wonder why my digital is not growing. I will try snipping its tips soon to force it to grow. Any zoas experts to ID my zoas =)
