Thank you very much . What about the first one , the purple and green flatter one?

I guessing Favites vs Goniastrea. A down image will help to nail that down.

Rainbow birdsnests sounds right. I think they are seriatopora.

I am going with Pocillopora.

Don't you think a poci would have wider branches?

You may be right. Fad name Rainbow lead me to conclude it was a Rainbow Pocillopora. The tips are not as rounded as most Pocillopora, but that could be flow related. Either way the care is the same for both. Not my image of a Rainbow Pocillopora.

Maybe I was confusing pocillapora and stylopora! Looks pretty dang close.
