What are these?

supposed to be orange crush.

second pic is a acan echinata

The second is a rainbow echinata, not orange crush. Orange crush is all orange. Some have a small amount of brown mixed in. Not sure about the first one.

The first one looks a bit like oophyllia (sp), but I've not seen a brown one.

The first one looks a little bit like oophyllia (sp), but I've not seen a brown one. Just a guess though.

Here's a more recent shot of the 1st coral.

micro minuta is my guess...

i would agree with marv on the first one, and the second is for sure a rainbow, I got a nice big rainbow from joe{TRG} grows fast. I keep mine in high flow, and feed it ground up shrimp, scallops, cy-peeze, miysis. eats like a pig. I like it btter than the orange crush also. OC is a slower grower in my tank Ole green eye i call it

First one is probably a Favia or Favites sp. Micromussa minata is not that common compared to Favia and Favites so odds are thats what it is. Also corallites appear to be closer to 10mm (by the Zoanthus polyp near the coral), rather than the 5 to 6 mm that is typical of M. minuta

Second one is most likely Acanthastrea echinata... The morph is just a common name. Portions of "rainbow" acanthastrea can look like orange crush, or vice versa.

Nice corals! :thumbleft:
