Here are 2 corals that I would like to ID.

The first is a brownish, greyish polyp that is growing inside a batch of my zoas. You can see 3 of them in the pic. It is hard to get a good picture of them. Any ideas?

The second appears to be some kind of SPS, but I am not sure what it is...it was a hitchhiker on a piece of LR rubble.

Thanks for any guesses!

First one is simply a Palythoa species. Number 2 appears to possibly be an encrusting Monti.
