    The first is feather dusters or one of those x-mas rocks (hopefully not aiptasias). The 2nd looks like some kind of SPS, but I haven't seen many that orange.

    The first pic appears to be some encrusting montipora, but it is very hard to tell.
    it could be a challice even.

    the second is some sort of sps, maybe a tricolor validia. i have some tricolor validia frags that looked just like that until they grew more. Let it grow and see if it changes color.

    What kind of lights are you running, and how far down is it?

    Acro's like a lot of light, for the most part. If it is a validia, it will take all it can get.

    How long have you had it? if not long, give it time.

    Is the first one soft or hard. to me it looks more like cabbage leather. The second one is definately SPS though. SPS needs pretty high lighting and flow. I would get it as high in the tank as you can under the stock lighting.
