I believe the second one is Alveopora.

Everything is "rare" at golds .

First one is a gonio, looks to have some very nice color they are correct in the fact that the yellow mouth/ red polyp combo is rarely brought into Calgary, not sure how rare in the wild it is.

Second is a frogspawn.

Haha. How did you know I got it at golds? The fact i was told it was rare or that I couldn't understand him.

I stop at all the stores in Calgary religiously I'm surprised I don't speak Mandarin at this point .

Golds is the only place in Calgary at the moment with gonio frags, that and the "rare" made it an easy ID. Even with the rare title I'm sure they sold it to you for a pretty good price, all the brothers there are good guys.

That being said, looking at them again I thought the first and second pic were of the same coral, first is gonio, second is alveopora third is frog spawn (Euphyllia).

I'm pretty happy with them so far. They seem to be happy with my tank as well. I've heard mixed reactions towards golds. They have been fairly good for me so far. Seem to have the best selection of frags that I've seen so far and their prices are good as well. When you do your rounds, where exactly do you go to?
