Thank you, I really appreciate the positive feedback
This is a darth maul porites, the whole colony is like an inch to inch and a half in size
Porites is a strange species and I have no idea what characteristics are characteristic. I have only seen three that I could recognize, the darth maul, the plain jane yellow one ( that is not really its name) and a very expensive multicolored one and I'm not sure if that is or is not a porite.
I have googled porites but sometimes the information on google is so much that it's like no information really at all. Also have looked at Corals of the World which is a great source but I think I would do better with Corals for Dummies
So the next pic is not an sps, rather a close up of a common but nonetheless brightly colored blastomussa. I think the really cool thing is that it is growing and thriving literally adjacent to a chalice( RHS Del Sol--now,that's an oldie as well as rarity) and a lithophyllon ( try saying that three times really fast with your mouth full)
