Your pictures are not clear enough to really be sure, the first one is very difficult to tell but I'm thinking it looks like an open brain or donut coral and second one appears to be a torch or possibly frogspawn- it could even be a hammer but the tentacle tips look to rounded, very difficult to tell because your pics are to fuzzy. Try google searching those corals I mentioned to find pictures on other websites so you can determine what looks like your corals.

Just read Jason's reply, could be a yuma but I thought there looked like to much of a depression in the center.

The second is branching frogspawn,hammer or anchor,any name you want to use,but is branching it is not a wall hammer.The second (hard to tell from pictures,get more megapixels)looks like it could be cyanthiria or some kind of brain.But cant tell from pics.

i think it could be a Cat’s Eye Cynarina Coral but i am not sure cause mine has a white mouth or hole in the middle with small white polyps around the mouth that look like teeth with a shade of green and red striped around it
