Ok so I bought a couple of new corals today and need a little help with their genus and species name so I can research specifics about the corals.

I want to say this one is some type of Aussie Favia. or maybe an Acan.

The LFS called this one a galaxy coral but is there another name for it.

Any Info is much appreciated.

another name for galaxia could be "stings the **** outta everything else"

(watch the sweepers on that one)

2. Torch

The first looks like an Aussie Prism/Favia to me. The second is a GALAXEA and yes they do have sweeper tentacles that like to "reach out and touch someone". Keep them 4-6" away from other corals.
