Any idea on these “brain” corals true ID?

the lobo does look like a lobo to me. The brains look like open Trachophyllia?

thanks in advance

saltcritters. I think the lobo is def a lobo. The other brain just doesn't look like a favia but maybe it came off a hugh colony

Both brain corals could be favias. The second one looks more like a single coralite of favia than the first to me but the first can just be misshapen/skinny

Edit: They could also be trachy's lol
I think a side profile will be necessary to truly determine what they are, its hard to determine the actual size
