Just need a quick ID on these two corals.
I did the rookie mistake of seeing them at the store and saying "Cool, I want", without asking what it is or doing my research.
My tank is less then three months old but these guys are doing great. One has a second head forming and the other is sprouting lots of little fans.
Thanks in advance. Jer

The second looks more like a pipe organ than a palm tree to me especially with the skeleton and the tubes beneath the polyps. (We've grown a ton from frags and they all look like the picture you posted.)
 
Pipe Organ/Tubipora musica, mod to higher flow this coral will not tolerate algae growth or accumulation of detritus on the skeleton.
 
Thanks for all the info. I'm still moving all my frags around a little bit to find their sweet spot. I've already glued the Duncan and bird's nest.
 
I noticed you were from Raleigh, we are located in the Cary area, have you been to Fintastic in Cary?
OMG same, this is like the 4th person i've met in the past week on here that goes to fintastic
 
Yes it is! We love them, I always try to recommend them any chance I get. (We've gotten probably 4-5 pipe organ frags from them, to relate this back to your original post haha.)
