I got a some random corals and think I was able to ID most of them but was not sure about these two. Does anyone have a clue?

Since they are under actinics, what colors are the corals? Any photos under full lights? Might help to identify them.

Do think the first picture is star polyps. Second one might be some sort of monti coral, hard to tell color.

To me it looks like Sympodium, or if its not blue a type of Anthelia that is either on its way out or being brought back to life.

Yes it is blue. That is what the first pic is after looking it up! Thanks it has started to open a little so that's good. Now to figure out the others. I have a terrible habit of remembering names when I purchase coral from lfs.

Nice coral! It is one of my favorites. I started finding success with this coral when I moved it to very low light and allowed it to spread to adjacent rocks. It never really grew quickly for me until I did this. Good luck!
