Mussa angulosa (Pallas 1766). Large, fleshy polyps that are well-separated. When retracted, skeletal elements/septa appear spiny. To two feet in diameter. This specimen had polyps that were palm-sized! Roatan 2017 
 
Colpophyllia natans (Houttuyn 1772), Symmetrical Brain Coral. Large roundish to hemispherical  colonies or encrusting. Long snake-like valleys. Septa short, equal and pointing out. A fine ambulacral groove runs along the top between corallite walls, and a further line can be seen midway down the valleys. A starting colony, single polyp in Roatan 2017. Thanks to Julian Sprung for the ID. Oh, similar to Manicina areolata.
