Hello, just got my first frags from LFS and was wondering if someone could give me the names of both of them? Thanks

The one on the right is a candy cane/trumpet coral. I am not coral experienced enough to say on the left one.

Acanthastrea echinata and Caulastrea (Candy Cane/Trumpet)

Favites pentagona and Astraeosmilia curvata

Trumpet coral and micromussa?

not Micromussa, coenosarc doesn't form a lip over the theca

Acanthastrea echinata and Caulastrea (Candy Cane/Trumpet)

not echinata, no concentric wrinkles on the coenosarc; not Caulastraea either, the green and teal varieties were reclassified to Astraeosmilia in ~2021

Lobos still exist although some are Acan Pachysepta
