The one on the left is hard to tell. Maybe some better pics? From a different angle perhaps? The one on the right looks like some type of brain I think. By no means an expert though!
 
Thanks I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow when my lights are back on
 
Here is two better pictures

That's the idea.. However I read an article that states other wise^_^ and suggest food choices good it ^_^
 
I would say that the green one is a lobophyillia or tracaphyillia. I have both a lobophyillia an gracaphyillia. Can't remember exactly what the name is of the one you have look both of these corals up.
 
I'm going to say the 2nd is a goniopora, the 1st I dunno.... Kinda acan looking but also favia might be right....
 
Favites, is the first picture. the difference between Favia and Favites is Favites shares a common wall, Favia polyps have their own walls, like this-

Thanks guy any recommendations on placement it's in a 40 breeder with 4 ATI T5's
 
Thanks, didn't really know what differentiated the two, thought Favia was just larger polyps and Favites,smaller. Nice pic too, looks hungry!
 
Yep. That was an old Christmas Favia of mine. I grew it from a tiny frag, and then sold it to a friend when I broke my tanks down. It's a piece of live rock now :banghead:
