Both of those are in the Genus Euphyllia. Their skeletal growth is different. One grows in a ridge and the other branches out.
Hammer Coral (Euphyllia ancora) Branching Hammer Coral (Euphyllia paraancora) But there is also one that the skeleton forms phaceloid like. Euphyllia cristata Most other Euphyllia also fall under these minute differences. Torch Corals Torch Coral (Euphyllia glabrescens) Branching Torch Coral (Euphyllia paraglabrescens) Frogspawn Corals Frogspawn (Euphyllia divisa) Branching Frogspawn (Euphyllia paradivisa) Frogspawn (Euphyllia yaeyamaensis)
