Need help confirming a couple frags.. used to have a reef years ago and tore it down when I had my son, now I’m back and rusty on my ID.. I believe the first one to be a Trachyphillia
The second I’m unsure, blasto? candycane? IdkIMG_5844.jpg

I'd say that your ID's are spot on. Seeing the brain better adjusted inflated would give a confirmation as I'm far from an expert at all of my 'brain' families...there have been some scientific name changes for some recently. The only other I could think of would be a Platygyra brain coral...but seeing it inflated can (and i believe will) eliminate this as being the correct ID.
 
Thank you! Here are some better photos IMG_5865.jpgIMG_5866.jpg. Still thinking Trachy and Blasto?

Any thoughts?
