I have two red corals - the first is a donut LPS coral, but I'm not sure if the second is similar or completely different.

Here is the donut:

Here is the 2nd red one that I'm not sure on ID:

Thanks for any tips on the ID =D
 
is the first one cynardia. i have a brown one that looks just like it

Yes, I'm pretty certain the first one is Cynarina...I'm looking for pictures of an open brain that look like the second currently :p Think little pieces of cut-up silversides will work as food? I did feed mysis a couple days ago.
 
2nd one looks like a blasto.

Mmm, quick image search doesn't reveal any blasto coral that looks similar to it...I'm pretty sure the identification that I put above is correct. Of course, I could be wrong :)
 
These are both rather large as well - baseball sized, with the first being perhaps larger than that.
 
lps scolyamia

"Sometimes, it is confused with its closest relative, Scolymia." You'll have to state why you think it's Scolymia and not Cynarina as pictures are closer to Cynarina :)

Edit: And it doesn't look anything like the picture you posted ;)
