Any thoughts on these two and any care comments? I bought these frags from Premium Aquatics. These were just taken with my actinic and white VHOs on (MHs off).

Thanks!

Looks like porites and green birds nest.The top one may be pocillipora though.

Thanks. I was thinking the top reddish one is Montipora digitata.

I think they are both pocilliporids. Red M. digitata typically has more contrast between the coenosteum and the polyps. Not a very scientific explanation, I know, but typical of the specimens I've had. Your frag is still pretty small.

The second may be Seriatpora caliendrum or S. guttatus.

I agree with Jamie's id's.
