Picked up a couple of frags from the LFS. Guy wasn't 100% sure what either one was. Basically said some sort of brain and some sort of encrusting lps. thoughts? Thanks!

First two pics look like "Acanthophylla" (Now more correctly Micromussa) lordhowensis, as it's been reclassified. Commonly referred to as "Acans".

The other ones, I'm less certain of, but perhaps some kind of Favia or Favites?
