Looks like Green Button Polyps and maybe a Yellow Fiji Leather ??? Sorry I don't know the scientific names off the top of my head.

the ''buttons'' look like a morph of the ever common ''RPE'' Palythoa's (Palythoa sp)a member of the zoanthidae family includes acrozoanthus,parazoanthus & zoanthus also known as zoo's.that other im sure is a yellow fiji leather ( Sarcophyton elegans)..its shedding..

In a very General sense
Button polyps are palys which are related to Zoas
Buttons or palys are typically the large polyped species and Zoas are the smaller polyps
Again this is a very basic broad overview in hobby terms it is more complicated than that in scientific terms
