The one on the lower left looks okay, but the white area looks like it has some tissue ressesion. The one on the right looks a little bleached in some patches.

To me, the one on the left looks like it had tissue damage, maybe something nibbled on it. The one to the right looks fine, but might have been in poor condition before and is now recovering.

Give them some time, if they don't get worse, then that means they are getting better.

Don't throw them away even if you kill them, because sometimes you can get little babies to come out of the remains of the dead coral.

Well I am looking at buying these from a local reefer tomorrow at a great price. Thats why I am asking

Im not sure I am even ready for this since some have been saying its not a good first coral, but i really cant pass on the price ($20 for both)

So I think I will pick them up and take my chances

20 bucks for both of them is worth it to me.
