Question Identification please

[SteveZz]

Sorry for not posting this in the Identification forum but Tapatalk doesn’t list that as an option so I went for general discussion.

I went to my LFS and bought these two corals. Forgot the name of one and the other had no name on it. Hoping you can all help me out here.

1. I believe it was listed as a sunshine monti but I haven’t seen that name anywhere online. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2. Was told it was some sort of chalice. Other than that I have no idea.

Thanks for the help.

First one may be a Reverse Sunset Monitopora
Second one looks more like a psammacora, not sure of ID

Thanks, reverse sunset looks right to me. As for psammacora I don’t think that’s what I have. Opened to more ideas.

Are they just encrusting coral? Any growth patterns I can expect that are different from what I see currently?

Psammacora. Mostly encrusting growth form. A few species branch. This one just encrusts.

To me looks like a Favia, many different flavors.
