Picked up some random 10 dollar frags... can someone give me an ID for the two I don’t know? Thanks in advance!

No, it looks good though . Lots of polyp extension

I’m not really prepared for SPS so hope it holds on until my wallet catches up !

Guessing by the selection he had I’m guessing the first is either a Hollywood chalice or a tongue coral ....

The first coral is a chalice. The second coral looks like pocillipora to me, pretty invasive.

Google looks spot on

Yea last one is a Pocillopora damicornis-like species. The genus is currently undergoing genetic trials so revisions may be headed our way soon. I expect P. damicornis will be split into few different species, just like the genus Cynarina which includes just one species C. lacrymalis
