Top one (not the zoas) is some kind of Favia/Favites/Gonastrea. It's hard to tell those apart. Many folks call them all " war corals." It's alive and spreading from the plug, but it's not the healthiest one I've ever seen. They are, ime, quite hardy. It could be that the main part in the center is dead because it was stung by something or covered in algae.

Not sure what I'm seeing in the bottom picture.
 
Ok thanks. Its slowly turning white. Not good moved it to a lower light area.

Rp8,
I can't id it either, but agree, it looks like not to be in the best of health.

Good luck in turning it around, I'd lower your carbon use and hope that it will take to spot feed eating until it renews its zooxanthellae.
 
Neither looks really healthy but they do look alive. I agree with the top being one of the various coral refered to as a war coral but can't tell more specific. The bottom.. maybe a goni? Mine looks similar when closed and they like a little lower light. Sry can't be of more help it's hard to Id closed corals. Post again when it's happy looking please. Good luck!!
 
Rescues they are. Top would be green Favite brain coral, should look like this somewhat:
