Could you tell me if the first picture is a Kenya Tree or a Colt coral? Is there a difference? I know that it is common for different people to call corals by different names.
What is the coral in the second picture? I love how the little "hands" grab at the water (I assume its feeding) Any information you can give me about your experience with these corals would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Claire

First pic is colt coral, cleidella species....(about 90% on this I.D. not 100%) Kenya tree is a different species capnella species
Second pic is xenia. (Bi-color xenia) There is a lot of info about both types on this website, use the search feature and type them in. If you have any specific questions after looking them up, drop another line on here and I will help answer as best I can

The best way to compare colt with kenya is that the colt coral is fuzzier and the kenya is more like a tree with no leaves. Colts are usually more stockier also. So, yours is a colt. Second picture is of xenia.
