I went to a coral show and they gave out free frags. I am wondering if someone can help me with identifying them so I can figure out light and flow needs. Sorry pictures aren’t the greatest I’m still trying to figure out how to best photograph under blues from my phone. The bigger one looks like some sort of leather with bright green polyps when they are open. Smaller one looks like a white stick with hot pink or maybe bright red polyps.

Best way is to turn blues down and just do a pic under white light, alternatively you could add a orange filter in front of your camera to remove the blue and show the corals colour.

both seem like montipora digitata. i'm confident the first coral is a digitata, second could possibly be a millepora.

pics under white light are always best for ID help.

Took another of the second one with only whites. The first one would not focus with my camera. Disregard the diatom outbreak from a bad RODI membrane.
