these colonies came on my live rock (gulf-view.com) pretty kool stuff, dale told me the one colony i pointed out is cup coral? and he told me what the other hard coral was but i cant recall what he said... it grows like acro up towards the light, and the "cup coral" just grows over the live rock...

anyone know anything about coral from the gulf of mexico?

Maybe an Oculina robusta. There's more info on it here: Feature Article: West Atlantic Stony Corals, Part 3: Large Polyp and Fire Corals | Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine americana
