Coral ID help

[Joevember]

So I picked up 2 new corals from a local reefer and want to know the names. The seller didn't know. 

I think this looks like a trachy, but with some tissue recession on the edges.

This one looks like a lobo.

 

I'm not 100% sure about the names and wanted to make sure I got them right, thanks.

Trachy is a pretty good guess, for #1. Tough to be sure by that photo, as well as that specimen. It’s looking pretty rough. It would be my first guess, as well. But, there are a few other possibilities it could be, such as a wellsophyllia (really they are just another species of trachy, though.) or, even a few others, but those are long shots.

 

#2 is a lobo

Thanks, I'll try to get an update picture in a few weeks to get a good ID on it. The whole coral looks like it has had some stn for a while. The previous owner told me he didn't feed it, so that could be the reason it looks so bad.
