I can't ID because I have very limited knowledge. :D

Here are the ones I'm having trouble with:

1)
My guess: I don't have one.

2)
My guess: Acropora (best I can do)

3) this is a darker green with very light green tips
My guess: Acropora (best I can do)

4)this is light purple with darker purple polyps
My guess: Montipora digitata

The first one is probably A. chesterfieldensis, while the second, which looks very similar, but has smaller axials, may be A. ocellata or A. retusa. Hard to know from the foto.

The third looks like A. nana or A. azurea, while the last is just as you thought, M. digitata, although A. samarensis is similar and almost impossible to seperate from it. Generally speaking, M. digitata is somewhat heavier looking.
