Every year I go to Mexico with friends and family and I always go snorkeling. This coral Is all over baja California and I have no clue what it is?

What is it, some of it can even look like a large acro colony. There's some awesome PE out here in the ocean, I told my girlfriend that I wish I had my test kit so I can test the ocean parameters and she called me a nerd lol
 
Green one is most likely Pocillopora meandrina. The other could be several species, but still Pocillopora sp. I'll do more digging.
 
Let me know when and where next time and maybe I can meet up with you with my dive gear. I’m always willing to nerd out with a fellow reefer
