Need coral ID help

[Aplatowski]

I’ve had both of these corals for many years…what are they?

 

[MoshJosh]

Top looks like a big Galaxea to me. . . Not sure on the bottom one though

 

[mdb_talon]

Galaxea and pagoda cup

 

[Cell]

May be a leptastrea and cyphastrea.

Possibly goniopora

1. Galaxea
2. Duncanopsammia peltata, commonly misidentified as (and formerly was) turbinaria

Holy the size of that Galaxea. Yes, it is a galaxea, just by observing the living coral on top and the skeleton at bottom, this id undeniably a Galaxea. Beautiful colony you have there.

Appreciate the work done to help w proper IDs and changes made to naming/ classifications. Trade names only go so far and used for marketing / pricing which is another topic. Lol

 

[i cant think]

1. Galaxea
2. Duncanopsammia peltata, commonly misidentified as (and formerly was) turbinaria

+1 to both of these.
Those polyps on the second are too close to not be of the Duncanopsammia genus and I believe the only two species in that genus are Duncanopsammia axifuga and Duncanopsammia peltata. So with the process of elimination, Axifuga is a branching coral whilst peltata is a plating/encrusting coral.

Looks like galaxea and a pagoda. Nice colonies BTW

Thank you! It seems very happy
