Ive always seen these called Maze Brain Corals. The second pic is a Christmas tree worm. Ive never been able to keep these worms long term.

Platagyra?

 

[RandyC]

Platagyra?

Yeah...I'm wrong....platygyra.

 

[Coral reefer]

But at least you can spell it!

 

[MolaMola]

I thought it had different septa/maze walls than my Platy below, but I guess it's more similar than I first thought. Also, I have only seen domed platygyras and the green one is irregularly shaped.
Note: second pic above is included to show closeup of coral walls.
Other Platygyra, in feeding mode:

Oulophyllia sp

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Great sweeper tentacles

 

[Coral reefer]

Oulophyllia sp

The pic right above right?

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Yes
But I could be wrong
I think to be more accurate you need to count the scutes of each polyp

 

[MolaMola]

@Kensington Reefer You think the first green pic is Oulophyllia or the brown and green one with sweepers?
What's that about counting scutes? That sounds like a good job for some students I have in mind.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

I think
First pic is oullophyllia
Second pic is platygira
Pardon my spelling
