Both plants resemble Anubias, but I'm not exactly sure which types. I would definitely take them out of the pots. If they have a thick stem like thing where the leaf stems come out, they are Anubias and shouldn't be planted. They can be tied to wood or rocks with string, or if they'll stay, just set them on top of the gravel.

Can you take a picture of the bottom of the plant?

edit: The second one might be Anubias Frazeri, thats a wild guess though. First one looks like a big Anubias nana (I have a huge one), but I'm not certain on that one either.
