Hello all,

I could use a little help with some coral ID. My local shop sold these to me "SUPER cheap" without knowing what they are, and I felt up to the task of giving them the best possible opportunity for survival. I have my opinions on what they are, but my knowledge of SPS is somewhat limited since I come from a time when SPS wasn't so common. So, I figured I would run it by the pros here. Thus far they are doing really well, and have colored up nicely. Even showing some signs of growth.

Top is cyphastrea and bottom looks like Phoenix monti or similar
 
Thanks for the tips thus far. Turns out I had that cyphastrea way too close to the light, so it's since been moved down. I'm actually really happy to learn it's a low light coral, since I don't have a particularly high energy system. Does anyone have any guesses as to what the "hairy" one in the middle might be?
