Same coral in different lighting?

I would say based on the shape and fleshiness, that the pic just above this looks like a lobophyllia.

Scolymia?

how big is the single polyp? could be an acan if it sizes up or a scoly if it is bigger. the lower pic is a lobo.

The first one looks like Scolymia or doughnut coral. But it also resembles the Cynarina or button coral. I can never tell the difference between the two because they look so much alike. Here is my button coral or as I call it the "butt" coral.

The second one is a Lobed brain coral (lobophyllia).
