Bought these beautiful critters today and i don't know what they are called nor what their needs are. Anyone able to help me out?
I believe these are two different types right? bought them from different vendors, the bottom one seems to have bigger polyps.
Thanks.

I can't tell for sure but they look to be the same.
I think they are either a favia, or more likely a cyphastrea of some sort.
Edit: Oh lepastrea, I never know the difference...

Leptastrea pruinosa, I'd start them off in low to moderate light and medium flow, very easy to take care of but since they've been recently fragged they shouldn't be sitting in a low flow area.
