I think we have a winner. Lovely pieces. Dan06...unfortunately that open brain is all wrong for your tank and your specific location with regard to the equator... although it will likely be a hardship on my part... I will make the sacrifice and take it off your hands...

LOL, I took your post serious for a second... I was going...OH MAN GET IT OUT OF THE TANK NOW!!...until I settled down and read your post again. LOL

I was looking more for their 'shelf' names, I'd like to search around and see how my pieces compare to others on the net. That open brain sat in the store for months, lacking color and life, took a couple weeks to take hold in my tank. Now it might be my favorite piece....

The open brain is probably some type of Trachyphyllia.
Goniopora is well, Goniopora, but I've also seen it called flower pot coral a few places.

The open brains are realllllllly slow growers, right?
