there are two here and Im not sure if theyre acans or zoas. they guy at the swap called the one on the left a Halloween something and the green one dunno maybe a zoa?
 
Favites Brain coral which is an LPS
left is a lepto and may be Kryptonite
 
I really can't can't tell as the right one is receded. If it has flower like polyps, that leads to a whole different kind of coral.
 
The one on the left is a Psammocora, sometimes called fireworks psammocora, I'm 95% certain anyways...

Here's a few photos of Psammocora, they do come in different colors but the first seems most common (I have one exactly like this (not all of them have longer fur like the last couple of images and I think he 3rd is actually a Leptoseris just mislabeled on google images but I'm not really an expert)):

it's definitely an acropora species, possibly purple rain? getting an actual species ID is definitely hard and cannot really be done visually with any accuracy. Also, it's a little hard to tell with the glare what the actual color profiling is...
