1. Either Acropora loripes if it grows upright, and the branches are formed from the axial corallites with radials on one side of the tube. http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0042
Or A. granulosa, if it tables outward. I am leaning on that because the tips resemble A. granulosa more. http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0033
2. Pretty certain that is Acropora humilis. Give it strong water flow and high lighting.

3. This one could be a few different species, but I am going to guess Acropora macrostoma for now.

4. The last might be the toughest to ID for now. There are only a few corallites and new branches to give me a clue. It could possibly be Acropora microclados. It needs to grow a lot more to get a better idea.
