I'm not sure what either of these are called. The top one I am confused because I thought it was frogspawn then someone said it is a torch. I also noticed others have more of a green color. This is pink/white. Does color
mean anything significant ?

Top is a hammer coral of the branching type and not a wall hammer. A torch would have a single "ball" type end on each tentacle. The second is birdsnest which is an SPS.

And to follow up :) Welcome to R2R and there you go the consensus for #2 is Pocillipora and #1 is a hammer coral. I am glad you ask and I also received an education in the process:rolleyes:
