Not sure of the first, but I think the second coral might be a Sinularia sp or a Nepthea

first one is a Rhodactis mushroom. Second one looks like a Sinularia but hard to say when they are contracted. If it's slimy to the touch then it's generally a Nepthea. Sinularia generally feel more dry-rubbery.

Thanks Seapug, the second coral does have a rubbery feel. The back of it is also somewhat flat and grey in color.
