Those are metallic mushrooms, I think, a discosoma species, and two kinds of polyps or zoas, the small 'brown', which glow green in actinic, if I'm right, and the larger brown. They're pleasant tank cover, and I always liked them when I kept softies.
Sidenote: You also have the start of an alga you might like to get rid of asap: that stuff can get nasty. Consider an algae eater appropriate to your tank size, and skim hard. The coralline will partially protect you from it, but it's bad when it gets a foothold: you may have too much phosphate, and it won't show on tests, if it's 'bound' in algae.
 
yeah i know i bought the tank from a lady that didnt take care of it at all when i got it the hair alga was really bad i scrubbed the rocks and have my phospate zero out anything else i can do do you think that these corals would be good to propagate and trade at all?
 
1. what i call green striped mushrooms
2. the smaller polyps are zoas, and the larger another type of zoanthid called Palythoa.
