Good day everyone!

i need help to define what coral is this on the picture. When i bought it i thought it was a zoa/polys. I’m new on this hobby and my tank is just 2 months old. I appreciate the response. Thank you.

The first one is Gonipora the second looks like a chalice of some sort
 
I count 24 tentacles in the first, so goniopora. Def med-low light but requires good feeding and relatively high nutrients to do well.

2nd is most likely a Favia or Favites. Both LPS.

What do you feed with goniopora? The 2nd picture still close when i took the picture. I thought it was a zoa. I will take a picture again when it open. Thank you.

In terms of feeding goniopora, a small particle food is what you're looking for. I use a combo of oyster feast and reef chili for target feeding any of my smaller corals that need it. (I also broadcast feed this combo a couple of times a week. Keeps the Acros happy.)

Thank you again for the info.
