Looks like bite marks for monti-eating nudibranchs..
Give it a good dip and perhaps add some wrasses to your system.

Not really sure, (since I'm no expert), but this looks more like a pod to me.

That's a pod in the last pic. Typically montipora nudibranch will eat a coral from its edges in. This is in the middle of the colony. Looks to be an injury from a scrape, or possibly a fish took a nip. Doesn't look like nudi's to me.
