Looks like a slightly bleached out acan, not favia. Maybe it's just the picture.
As for the zoas, what lighting are you running?
More info please.

I hit picked up 3 days ago a 25w 25000k 312leds marine & reef , and I use fluval salt and run the e shop psk100 hang on the back skimmer to help with water pure as possible im drippin the coral and going to dip it in about 15 min then putting it on the bottom so that's not a favia ? He's swollen and I was told its him hungry or looking for food ?

Ok. Keep them on the bottom for about a week.
To me it looks like a acan. When it's not swollen. Does it look like individual heads, or are they all connected?

The fluval light isn't the best. But you should be able grow some lower light corals.
Maybe someone else can chime in on the coral pic.

looks like an acan to me 
like eric said low light corals will do ok. imho anything with a hard skeleton wont fair well i would stick to leathers and mushrooms till you can afford better ones. any leds you get should have 3w per led the 1w dont penetrate the water more than 12" but workk ok for softies if in a shalllow tank

Acan. Who is selling you these corals? Did you buy it bleached out or did it start to pale out on you in your system?
