Can anybody help please with the ID of two types of coral in the attached which was taken in Bonaire? The first is the greenish coloured coral in the bottom left. The second is the lumpy, almost circular coral at the top of the orange area on the upper left centre of the picture.
All ideas gratefully received

There are a few diiferent things happening in there, you may want to place a circle over, or point an arrow to, the sections. Nice size anenome there.
The big thing with tentacles in the center is an anemone, Condylactis gigantea
The sheet like coral in the bottom left is Agarcia sp.
Yellowish round bumpy one is Porites astreoides
The yellow/orange branchy one (one closest to the diver) is Fire Coral Millepora sp
Thanks William, that is great. We are off to Bonaire again next month so I intend to get a better ID book whilst there.
