I picked these up cheap. $60 for both. I think the round one is a brain coral. Don't know about the alien one. Wondering where they should go in the tank, and if they need any special care/direct feeding?

Thanks, you wonderful people.

Both look like favia to me (aka pineapple, brain, etc coral). The one on the right is just a smaller frag. My favia likes moderate light and medium flow. I've never directly fed it, but doing so will speed growth.

Second one I believe is a goniastrea, and a very nice one at that.

Neither one of these corals are very demanding IME. With low to moderate lighting and flow they should be fine. (parameters aside) You could try spot feeding them something on occasion, but they don't necessarily require this. GL.
