Picked up these corals today!

[Christopher Davis]

I picked up is pretty sweet pieces for my local fish store today. However the owner did not know what the purple coral was regardless I think it's pretty sweet but I'm not sure what it is. The other one is supposedly a war coral?
Tips and care for both of these would be greatly appreciated also an ID for the purple coral!!!

I do think the 1st one is looks like a montipora, 2nd one looks like war coral. I may not be to sure just thought that's what they look like to me

yeah certainly war coral I want to say the other looks like a purple cyphastrea.

Definitely cyphastrea....beautiful coral but beware putting it too close to another coral as this species will send out a net and sting.

Cyphastrea's are some of the most beautiful corals out there. Color combinations like the rainbows can be phenomenal. They can also be very deadly. I had one sting a chalice one time....chalice lost!
