Hey folks, I got these two corals, and could not find out what they are. Could you help?
Also the Acropora one, does it look healthy or is it bleaching?
Thanks! 3DD6ECE2-8052-456A-B29E-9A9EA9CC4A34.jpeg

I think the plating coral is likely a Merulina (possibly Merulina ampliata). Platygyra’s typically have more ragged appearing septae.
 
Thanks for your suggestions. The first one could be an acropora tricolor validia. Not 100% sure as the color seems a bit off.
The second one seems to be quite certainly a merulina ampliata. Less structure than the brain coral.
