1st pic- no clue. 3 different corals competing for 1 rock. Looks neat, Ill be interested to see how they react to eachother down the road.
2nd pic- Euphyllia of some sort.

On your second one, check E. cristata. Yours looks similar to ours and that's finally what we figured ours to be. Some of your tentacles have some extra nubs under the top one, ours only has one tentacle like that. Another thing that ours has that I haven't seen on the other Euphyllia is some of the tentacles grow in towards the mouth although the majority go away from the mouth.
It doesn't seem to be as common as the others, ours was sold under the name hammer, but as you can see, the ends are not shaped like hammers. They're found in shallower waters than other euphyllias so they can tolerate higher lighting than the others.
A good picture of one can be found in Dr. Shimek's Pocket Guide Book of Inverts, can't remember the page number off the top of my head though.
Good luck!

On #1 the picture really isnt clear enough, or close enough, to give any kind of accurate ID. Without seeing bleached skeletons under a microscope, the best you can likely do is say Faviid or maybe Mussid.
"Brain coral" works quite nicely for most applications lol
