I bought some mixed fiji rock from online and most just came with zoas but got these to aswell need help iding I believe the yellow/green is a favia or some sort of closed brain or acan and not sure what the purple and blue is thought a blastomussa at first but definitely not after closer look will post better pictures when everything opens up

I believe the yellow/green is some sort of favia has crater like heads with encrusting like patches between not fleshy heads but the purple/blue one really gets me its not pectinia it looks like a blastomussa with color but solid hard body all connected no gaps almost encrusting like but the skeleton looks like a acan was kinda thinking it was a oulophyllia (moonstone coral) but theres only one mouth per eye

1 might be Pectinia, it's hard to tell. 2 is either Dipsastraea or Astrea curta

Edit: it's Dipsastraea, mottled coloration. Also on 2nd inspection the first one may not be Dipsastraea on account of its thick skeleton, still not sure what it is though
