Top one possible cup coral/pagoda
 
 
I believe tubinaria does eventually grow into a cup shape. :)
Mine liked higher light. It probably needs enough flow to remove detritus since it will have that cup shape and stuff settled in the middle like montis get. Flow effects shape
 
First pic definitely looks like a turbanaria of some sort, depending on the type I’ve seen them called cup corals, pagoda cup, scroll coral, they’re all in the same family.
