The first one looks like a green bottle brush I have one that looks the same. Top center

The second almost looks like a plumb berry chalice, the third I have no clue

The problem with coral IDs is that they are a "good guess" at best unless the lineage can be traced. If you got them at an LFS etc, good luck getting a solid ID. If you got them from someone, ask and see where that gets you

these are all second hand corals purchased from another reefer. Primarily with the SPS want to figure out species type to see requires flow and light requirements. Also placement for future growth. The bottlebrush is up front and don't want to worry about it branching out into the glass.
