Hello ,
These coral frags. The second one I think is a scroll coral. The first maybe an encrusting SPS

The 2nd looks like a psammacora to me.
 
First one looks like Turbinaria scroll coral, the second one may be leptoseris or leptastrea.
EDIT: second is psammacora, couldn't remember the name. Cell beat me to it!

First coral could be a scroll coral, really hard to tell.

Second one is a psamacorra.
 
wow “Cell” that’s amazing growth.
Thanks for the info. What’s your recommendation for light/flow? I’ll have to e read up on this tonight.
Do you find it to be very aggressive? They have a good size frag for $24 locally
 
Relatively slow grower, med/low light and flow but it probably pretty adaptable. I wouldn't say it's aggressive but not sure who would win in battles with other encrusters/corals.
 
Is a healthy frag always “fluffy” similar to leptastrea ? Only asking because I don’t remember the one at the LFS being fluffy with polyp extensions.
 
It's almost fuzzy/furry.
 
Roger, I’ll take a closer look today but I imagine the frags not at optimal lighting and flow sitting in the store. As long as it’s color is still good it’s worth trying. I really like how yours looks
Thanks again
