ok, so I know the one in the back is an open brain, but what is the front one? I always thought the one in the front was a trachy coral, but not so sure now. The two of them look very different from each other.

Can someone out there with more experience with these please give me some more accurate ID? Thanks ahead of time.
 
Neither are a scoly. To me the yellowish one looks like a lobophyllia and the one in front looks like a trachyphyllia probably radiata. Brain coral both open and closed is a genetic catch all term for maybe a dozen corals from different families.
