Hello,

I bought coral frags from a lfs which the coral expert was away so I bought them on a gamble I think one is a brain the other is a branch

Thanks
Tom

Probably a stylo or pocci but to young to tell and a close up pic would help

First picture looks to be SPS, I would guess acropora/montipora but without a closer pic it's hard to tell. I would not think it's a stylo/pocci/birdsnest considering the amount of encrusted growth relative to the branches, but without a clear pic it's hard to say.

Second picture looks to be a Platygyra.

First frag is a type of encrusting montipora its polyps arent out so i cant fully id it the second looks like a platygyra but i think its in fact. Favia
