I bought two corals and was told they were Cyphastrea but they don’t look like any other Cyphastreas I’ve seen. The polyps seem too close together and maybe too small? But I don’t know.

The first picture looks like a Cyphastrea. The second I'm not sure on.
 
First is definitely cyphastrea
Second may be Hollywood stunner chalice? Can’t really tell
 
1 is Cyphastrea, 2 is either Cyphastrea or Echinopora lamellosa; could you possibly get a more head-on photo of number 2 please?
