I second that even thou first picture is a little blurry

It's hard to tell because it's kinda blurry, but it looks to me like a Hydnophora (also called "Horn" Coral).
They are usually branching, but sometimes encrust, and have a hard skeleton.
So if it does not have a skeleton, I am wrong and its not a Hydnophora.

Here are some links to pics of Hydnophora:

Picture#3 - Like everyone said, is Plerogyra sinuosa, also known as a "Bubble" Coral.

Those are both fairly hardy corals, they like medium light and enough flow to make them sway their tentacles a bit. The "bubble" coral you can feed too. Mine seems to like chunky foods like shrimp, or clam bits, but it will eat anything it can grab, and then work them slowly into it's mouth.

I would agree with Chrismo,

I had a Hydnophora 2 of them,one branched and the other encrusted.I removed them because they were to agressive towards my other corals sending out stingers.

The second picture is definetly a bubble.
