I ordered a frag pack last month . Two of the corals didnt make the trip contacted the seller an they told me to give them a week to see if they bounced back. They completely melted away. The seller said they would ship me replacements for the two that didn't make it. Hear it is a month later the seller didn't have exact replacements so said he would send someone different corals I said I was ok with that well they didn't label them an I have no idea what one is an one I think I know but would like to be sure for care feeding an proper placement can someone help me out please

First looks like Micromussa lordhowensis, although not doing so hot. *When other posts say "Acan" the correct Genus is Micromussa*
The second is a bit odd, what color is it? Is it on another disc or does it have a skeleton?
It almost looks like a Parazoanthus species

It dosen't look like it has a skeleton it is green not a glowing green just green when it closes it looks kinda of like a zoanthid an I was thinking the other was an acan but truly dont know but it looks alot better than it did when it came in

Acanthastrea lordhowensis is now classified as Micromussa lordhowensis, so that is correct it is most likely that species. Do the others look a bit like this? *not my picture

That is Parazoanthus gracilis, but I'm just going to guess they're in that Genus. Keep them on their own rock so they don't take over everything, they are fast growers. Also I hope they didn't charge you much for that frag /:
