I was hoping someone could help me ID the two SPS corals pictured below? I assume the red one is a montipora and I have no idea what the green one could be.

Also, I recently picked up a second chalice coral and it appears to have some feather dusters or some similar creatures living inside it. I see little fans that look like eye lashes coming out every 5-10 seconds and then going back into the coral. Does anybody have any insight into this? Is this a bad thing? No big deal?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think that green one might be a Hydnophora. The red/orange one could be a Setosa. That little fan thing sounds like a barnacle. GL.
