I'm not sure of the top one, but the bottom one looks like a Pagoda Cup coral otherwise know as a Turbinaria.

Looks like a standard favia morph, much different than war coral, especially Tyree. The second one looks almost like alveopora.

At first I thought the top one might be a war coral too, but after looking at the ones in my tank, the pic looks nothing like them. 

The second one has too many "fingers" to be an Alveopora, they only have 12.  It also looks exactly like the frags of Pagoda Cup I have in my tank.

Ya the 2nd one is a pagoda I think.

After looking at a couple pics I would definitely agree it's a pagoda cup.

Yeah it's a pretty common favia morph. Still cool though.
