Wow. Really thought 2&3 were softies, but I think McG is right. Sorry about that.

Notice I started out with "I think" ;)
Sometimes pictures can be deceiving..
2 could be a softie.. (doubt it but it could)..
It may not be a Stylo though either.. There are a few that it could be.. It could be a weird chunk of Pocillopora or others..

I recently got a Stylophora myself, and the texture on them is just awesome. With some good light and care, that one will darken and fluff up really nicely.
