Not sure if those are the ones you're asking about. I'm not even sure on the ID, but I'll take a shot at it.

Re: Coral id

I don't understand what you're talking about. I never bought anything from you. Or did I?

Open your photo in Windows Paint program and use a paintbrush to draw a circle around it. Save and then post it again.

Re: Coral id

That second one RC circled isn't a goniopora coral.It looks like a cup coral(pagoda-tubinaria).

The first one is a giant rhodactis mushroom that Rc has circled.
