First is a chalice (Oxypora sp.), second appears to be a Favites sp.

Top is a chalice; I don’t know what genus.
2nd one is some sort of merulinid. I’m guessing a paragoniastrea. It is probably not a favites since the structure of the polyps is sort of in between cerioid and meandroid, whereas favites corals are usually cerioid and sometimes plocoid.
