the scolomias are not brains, they are a different type of LPS. also called, Modern Coral, Meat Coral, Donut Coral. very pretty and different. not a brain.
the easiest brains are the Open Brain corals, then after that, the closed brains like the pineapple, favites, maze, etc.

nope.
did you look at the photos on here in the coral section? To me, the glass goblet (listed as brain) is a true cynarina......it has 'protruding' teeth like a bubble coral.
Scolys are more flattened in general--with regard to their skeleton.
Look at the green goblet (listed as brain) here....and is what I think your photos show.
I have the juicy green closed brain. It is at least the size of a softball when expanded, but shrinks down to a slimy skeleton when disturbed.....The base is perfectly round, but the skeleton protrudes upward in a wave like fashion.
Sorry, I don't have a photo.
I don't know if that helps, but there it is.
