top one is either a favites or favia. I can't quite tell, but it's one of the two. You have to look at the skeleton to really tell the difference. However most, but not all, favia have distinct polyp seperation with a valley between the end of the polyp. Favites usually has no distinct polyp seperation. It's just tought to tell because the photo is fuzzy. Hope that helps.
However the second coral....not sure. sorry.

The first photo is either Favia or Favites , it looks too imature to tell at this point, once it starts maturing you can tell by the corallites, if they share a common wall between them or if thaqt wall is seperate. Favia has the seperate walls. The good thing is the care is the same whichever it turns out to be, it will feed on Zooxanthellate, DT's, brine and small diced meaty stuff. These do like a good light source so if using PC's or VHO's keep it toward the top. They like to feed at night also and will look like a fuzzy tennis ball (this is normal) it extends its feeding tenecles at night.
The second photo is hard to tell, any more info on it? Are those fingers whole or are they seperate like a feather duster? Could be some sort of hard worm ( like a Coco Worm, its not a Coco worm though)
