Can anyone identify corals from this collection from Nusa Dua, Russbach and the Rhenish Massif?

Our take

Hello everyone, I am seeking assistance in identifying a collection of twelve corals I recently acquired. The overview photo includes numbered references for clarity. The collection features Scleratinia corals from Nusa Dua, Bali (numbers 1-3), with additional specimens including a Rugosa from Russbach, Austria (number 8), a Tabulata (number 9), and Rugosa corals from the Rhenish Massif in Germany (numbers 10-12). While I have some details, I cannot ensure their complete accuracy. Any insights into genus or species would be

Can anyone identify corals from this collection from Nusa Dua, Russbach and the Rhenish Massif?

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!
