Got home from LFS was so excited, I forgot what these two are. I know one is in the same family as Duncans.

Any help would be much appricated.

Also any info on care for these two would also be great

Thanks ;)!!

Looks like a receded Duncan and the weird one looks like a mostly dead/bleached something with a cyphastrea growing on the skeleton.

So the I think I have identified the first coral as
Isaurus tuberculatus (snake polyp)

Here is a pic of second coral. After polyp extention came out when moonlight came on.

Is this yours? If so, looks sweet! I have mine in med/high flow, med par . Do you know if they are agressive at all? I looked on Google they say there not. But I find its best to talk to someone that cares for this animal.
