Help ID coral

[Tim Plow]

Could you please help ID these two? I have grown them from small frags.

Thanks

1. Acanthastrea echinata
2. Echinophyllia aspera

Thanks...could you also give the common name for them. Is the acan an orange crush? Is it a spotted chalice?

No on the orange crush, maybe one polyp, and it is a pink and green echino. Those are the common names for them as well.

Echinophyllia is commonly refered to as chalice, I am unaware of any common name for A. echinata other than "brain coral," which is used to describe all LPS species.

Sorry, I don't participate in the cartoon naming BS (such as orange crush) that many people here seem to enjoy, so I can't help you with that.
