I’m wondering what tire of corals these are? Sorry for the bad pictures. Also please no shortening the ride in new to this hobby and wouldn’t know what you were talking about.

On the second one its a bit blurry but there is an important distinction that you should confirm.

If each head has 12 "flower pedals", then that's an alveopora. This is generally hardier and ok for beginners

If each head has 24 "flower pedals", that's what's more commonly named "flower pot coral" in the trade, or its official name "goniopora". This is much harder to keep and generally not recommended for beginners.
