I've been told this is Acanthrophylia - but I can't find any that look even similar. No feeding response

Some kind of favia, I think I got it from Gonzo - does it have a trade name?

What I believe to be Aussie Symphillia - never get a feeding response.

My guesses:

1. Scolymia (google donut coral). The inner ring in the center will puff up and tentacles should come out of the ring for a feeding response like my picture below.
2. Acan Enchinata
3. Lobo or Symphyllia or Wilsoni .. something in that family.

#3 is Symphyllia or platygyra sp.

Wow thanks for all the responses guys.

coral #1 is just really a toss up if it's a scoly or an ACAN, although it doesn't matter much.

Should I be concerned if either it or the large brain aren't showing a feeding response? I plan to dome them again tonight to see if I can get anything moving.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Give them time and don't try to feed them too often. When they get hungry they'll open up. I don't even feed my lps anymore at all but I have a 3 year old tank and I'm sure they eat pods and such.

I have never seen 1/2 of my lps eating, small frags sometimes show feeders but I dont "feed" any of my corals

#2 is a Platygyra, similar to a Favia, and often called that, but not.

Again, thanks alot everyone for the feedback. Much more activity here than elsewhere.

I will be sure to add to the show-off thread once they have adjusted to my system.
