The second picture is a turbinaria... probably turbinaria peltata? You won't need halides for that. Moderate lighting and flow.

The first one - not sure. Looks LPSish though. Almost looks like some type of braching euphyllia, but until it expands more I haven't a clue.

i thought at first that the 1st one in the pic was a torch coral...it has the branching like a frogspawn and a hammer coral but looks more like a torch...

First one looks like a very unhappy branching Euphyllia species to me as well.

There are branching torches too. That's what I was leaning toward, but I've never seen one sooooo retraced. Maybe like TWallace mentioned, it's just really really unhappy.
