Tom needs coral identified

[DaddyTLi]

I have a few corals that needs identification. So I thought I'll start a thread on stuff I have. Some of them may be obivious to you. But I don't know what they are. These are gifts to my son.

The first one is a Hydnophora. I'm not sure about the second one. Pocillopora perhaps?

Thanks Frisbee. I read up on it, the first one for sure is Hydnophora. It touched the second one and caused it to be white with some sort of film ozzing out. This took place in a few hours.

When I looked up Pocillopora, it has other colors. The one I have is mostly brownish red, I did not see green unless it takes time for it to grow to the color greenish.

Thanks for replying.

It does not look like the Orange Galaxea, unless my is very young and will grow into it. After more look, it may be; but the testicles does not look that long.
