Hello, everyone!

Today I picked up 3 corals, and already forgot the names of 2.

Any help is appreciated!

First is stylophora. Second image looks like Sympodium coral.

if you zoom in to the OPs picture you’ll notice the polyps don’t have the frills that the symposium does. similar shape, though

first is stylophora second is galaxea
