    Spot on above. 1st is just a random milli, looks to be in decent shape, has okay PE. Price is about average. Second is a fungia with no PE in the photo. Could be a species that has little to no visible polyps or could be one just doing poorly. Average price for a 2-3 incher is around 40 bucks.

    That's a very good price if you get the whole colony on the millepora. The second pic is a pink or purple rim fungia.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    For 30 dollars I would pick up that mille in a second. Looks like it could use some decent lighting or has not had any recently ( could be shipping). Make sure you acclimate it to your lighting slowly. It has the potential to be a very nice piece.
