Corals need ID or experience

[Dazureus]

Hi everyone. I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a correct ID for three corals and what kinds of prices they're seeing for them. The first two were unidentified and I kno wthe difficulty of IDing Montipora cap's. I've read the reefkeeping article, so maybe I'm just looking for personal experiences (rarity and price). The last one was purchased as a colony from Tyree's purple monster (if I'm remembering correctly), but looking at Mr. Tyree's ID web page I'm having doubts. The polyps aren't white and of course no certificate. All colors aren't completely accurate. The suppposed PM is more purple and the monti's are more purple in the polyps. The lights the pictures were taken under are 50/50 mix of VHOs. Thanks for all replies

I'm not sure what species those are. The third one looks almost identical in color and appearance to an Acropora sp. I have in my tank. I got it from "monkeyboy" here at reefs.org for about $10. I see Monti and Acro frags for around 20-30 here in CA. It's much cheaper to trade frags with local reefers, or by finding them at www.frags.org , IMO.
