Hello everyone,

I’ve recently acquired a small collection of corals and would like to identify them more precisely. There are twelve corals in total, which I’ve numbered in the overview photo for easier reference. Detailed photos of all the corals follow in the same order.

Here is the information I have. However, I cannot guarantee its absolute accuracy.

Numbers 1 through 7: Scleratinia corals; numbers 1 through 3 are from Nusa Dua, Bali

Number 8 is, according to the collection label, a Rugosa from Russbach, Austria

Number 9: Tabulata

Numbers 10 and 11: Rugosa from the Rhenish Massif in Germany (Givetian)

And number 12 is another single Rugosa coral.

I welcome any input and more detailed identification, genus or even the species, if possible!

Thank you!
