The first one looks like a finger leather.
I think the other might be in the leather family too?

First one looks like stereonephthya, but the blurry pic doesn't help. Second one is a kenya tree.

Kenya tree is right, but stereonepthya? No. The bluriness doesnt help but it looks like a sinularia, or yea a finger leather.

Softy 2 looks like my "Young Soft Coral" The jury is out on whether these are Sinularia's or Cladellia's, I've seen them ID as either in several pretty reputable books.

2 looks like alcoylium to me.

LOL, yeah, I've seen them ID'ed as that as well, so I just gave up and stuck with calling it Young Soft Coral.

Very unique soft corals, they like good flow and moderate light, and can look an aweful lot like an acro colony when happy with polyps extended.
