left is the "superman monty" right i think is a leather?...

[marcus01]

i was told the one on the right is a red polyp monti?

Marcus, the red-blue is possibly M. undata. There are various red-blue color morphs of Montipora belonging to different species. Some have the reverse colouration. 'Superman' had been attached to one specific, then has been used indescriminately for any red-blue combi. So is the world!

The second could be a number of species, need a clearer and closer shot.

Both should be easy to culture. Good circulation and medium light. No magic, here.

That's Montipora digitata or M. samarensis. I can't tell them apart in most fotos. The former is a bit thicker built and not quite so graciously branched, while the later has immersed coralites. Something that one only sees on the dead skeleton.

In both cases an easy and, IMO underappreciated coral. many colour forms are available.
