Noob , need help identifying corals.

[BaylerBlaze]

Bare with me here , I recently inherited a tank from a family member that is joining the military.
This tank has no fish , but is covered in coral.
Most I have had no issue identifying, but there are two that have had issues identifying.
If anyone knows , please post.

Yes. Welcome to R2R! The second could be a chalice of some sort.

Welcome yes! Top is deffinitly a pavona, now the botton does look to be a chalice but, judging by the skeleton looking rock its on, could be a meat coral (or somewhat that nature) could you check underneight? Or does it have a central mouth?

I can see some skeleton bulging so im pretty sure its a larger polyped stoney.

Welcome to R2R! If you could get a clearer pic of the second one we may be able to help better. The skeletal structure, or what appears to be, does support a Meat coral or a Scoly. Does it have sweepers that come out at night? Nice looking corals!

First , thank you for your input. The first is ( as I would describe) very hairy and eats like a beast.
The second one has many polyps , just not out in the picture. And yes , it has sweepers that do come out.
It's about 3.5" long. My nephew said when he bought it , he was told that at one time it was a very popular coral , but isn't found much anymore, and he couldn't remember what it was called.
I havent been able to find any info or anything that looks like either one of these guys.
I actually moved it to the substrate and it has seemed to be more active done there.

The 2nd ones a toughie. I want to say hydnophora?

 

[BaylerBlaze]

Hydnophora it is !!!!
Thank you ReefQueen!!!
Found a few online that look exactly like what I have.
Strange that recommendations are to have it high , close to the lights , but it seems happier on the substrate. But , it could be like favia and just be more active after the lights go out.
