Slow and steady wins the race!
Nice score!! They both look like some species of brain coral the first possibly a Lobo or Trachyphyllia.. did they come in on your rock? where did the rock come from?

Ordered the rock from Live Rock n Reef. Their Cherry Picked Primo Gulf Rock. For $6.99 a lb, it's really great stuff. Tons of life, I have mussels, clams, great looking Macro Algae, feather dusters, sponges, sea urchin. Not much in bad hitchikers so far. One Aiptasia which I will nuke. There is another coral too. Not sure if it's photosynthetic or not.
The first coral looked like a skeleton out of the box. Figured it was dead. It has colored up from white to brown to now these colors. Tripled in size as well.
Thanks for your input.

That first one looks like an acan or micromussa to me.
