My local guy I go to is shutting down so I went to buy out some of his heavily discounted corals. Bit of an impulse buy. Anyway I got this guy even though he wasn't looking too healthy. Most of the corals in his tank didn't look very well with a bunch being completely dead. I've recently gotten coral from him before and they are all doing great and have recovered even though they didn't look the best either so I took a chance for $15.

What are those spots and are they something to be concerned about (or anything else that looks concerning)?

Also what kind of coral is this? Lobo?

Looks like sponge (the orange spots and is safe)
