Can someone ID these 2 corals please?

Sorry if these are basic corals, I'm still new to this. Need an ID on these 2 though please and thank you. Any placement recommendations you have would also be greatly appreciated :)

Devil leather (could be toad stool)

Star polyps anywhere

Leather coral ... sand bed. They are temperamental in my experience when it comes to flow. Each one is different.

Agreed, first pic looks like green star polyps and second pic looks like a toadstool to me.

first one is star polyps, the second is a VERY upset alveopora :)

Newly placed and was inspected by my peppermint shrimp upon entry. It wasn't very happy after. Did great while being acclimatized until the I put it in and the shrimp came. Lol

Thank you guys!! I can now look into how to best care for these 2 now. :)

If it’s a leather they are very stubborn with placement. Also peps seem to bother them in my experience. If you find a good place for it, never move it until it’s nice and big.

One of the only corals I ever lost was a devil hands, but my toadstool is on point.

Yea, I’d go Alveopora I guess. I’ve never kept it but I think they are right.

Alveopora loves same conditions as hammer (if you have that). Enough flow to make the tentacles sway back and forth gently and medium light (around 100-150ish par). Star polyps would live in the toilet if you let them lol

I would put the gsp on the sand bed as a separate island unless you want them everywhere.

+1 Also based on experience, gsp or any other star polyps appreciate medium to high flow. They encrust faster and thicker with higher flow.
