My son recently started a nano reef and received a few corals from a local reefer. Unfortunately the corals haven't done much but his tank was very very new when they were added. Can someone please ID both both corals, the lps in the back looks a lot like a torch but I'm not sure. Thank you all in advance.

Agree the one at the back looks like a torch. It doesn't look fully extended and is a bit lighter in colour, so could be a grape coral (also a Euphyllia). Given that it's branching though, my bet stays with torch.

The bottom could be a Goniopora of some sort? EDIT: Don't think it's a Goniopora sorry, not enough tentacles on each polyp. Somebody will know.

The first pic looks like a torch but could be a hammer and the second looks like a clove polyp to me.

They are both upset. Possibly too much flow or your parameters could be off.
