Please help ID two hitchiker corals

[bleedingthought]

Coral in question is the one in center. The one directly above the center one is also unknown to me (the frag at the very top is a caulastrea. The one I'm refering to is between the xenia and the porites) but this picture isn't showing it very well. They both, along with the porites, 'popped out of the rock' a couple of months after I got it in the tank.

The one is the middle looks like a baby welsophyllia or something close. Both of them were only tiny skelletons when I bought this "xenia" rock for 15 bucks.

Thanks for the help!

Wow, nice find! I can't say what they are though.

Anyone want to take a stab?

Some type of LPS coral

Looks very similar to an acan lord, simply because it's hugging the rock, although all the lords I've seen have been a multitude of colors, but this one being a "hitchhiker" could be one.

Hmm, could be but for some reason it doesn't quite seem like an acan to me.

Anyone else want to take a shot!?

actually dude I have that exact same hitchhiker coral. I posted a thread about it a while back and no one responded. It hasnt grown much but its polyps started to turn green like montipora digitata until lately when I put in the metal halides. Nothing in my tank seems to like the halides

Looks like a Faviid to me. Not a Wellsophyllia.
