I think:
1st: Green pocillipora
2nd: not sure which you're asking about... but zoos, green hairy shrooms and xenia elongata
3rd: not sure at all... looks like my hydnopora when completely closed

2nd picture I am curious what the far left coral is....It is growing like crazy

 

[RyanM]

2nd looks like a hairy mushroom no idea what the third is. Toung leather maybe.

 

[Piazzon12]

Yeah, those are green hairy shrooms, I think you got them from me. They grow like crazy (up to ~5 ") and then usually split

 

[Harlikwin2000]

I agree with Piazzon, though number 3 I am leaning toward some type of LPS based on the mouths I noticed in the picture, sorry I can't make any guess as to what LPS it is.

Attached to a rock maybe? sure looks like a mushroom. To full for a torch.

 

[fatrip]

tenticals too small to be a torch, but when i was there he discribed the base as a hard base.

 

[razzmatazz]

could the second one be a galixia? third one looks just like a mystery brain I ordered in.

 

[thepircs]

The second coral definately has a hard stony base and came in two chunks at the Oct frag meet. I wedged the into crevices in the rocks and they have become attached while growing larger. I even had a couple fragments broken off in the bag and they are also growing quite fast......

 

[thepircs]

And yes, the Xenia is way out of control......

 

[Piazzon12]

Those are probably galaxia. Are the individual bases the size of pencil erasers?? I got them also, from feduke ford, and they have been growing rapidly. Do you ever see long sweeper tentacles?? These guys are pretty nasty stingers like frogspawn.

 

[POSEIDOMORS]

i was diggin threw some old threads and found this one. and figured i could help the second is a galaxia and the third is a pectinia

 

[St.james of reefdom]

yep , I agree with seth 2nd is a galaxea and the
third is pectina..merulina has more ridges.. have to check Vernon tonight after work

 

[Capt_Cully]

galaxea
