Picked these two up for $5 each but have no clue what they are. Any ideas?

The top has a light cream color with orangish pink polyps, but they do not extend any more than shown. I thought the top was a favia but wasn't sure. Thanks.

Top is a Montipora sp. Likely M. danae.
Bottom looks like Favia speciosa, but pretty deflated, was the picture taken right after you introduced it?

*Note, the genus Favia is now Dipsastraea, but I Used Favia above so it would be recognized.

Both have been in the tank for about 2 weeks. The favia? Has been like that since day one but has been growing.
