1. Without any lineage it's just a blue stag. Formosa maybe?
2. Not a milli, Vermiculata possibly. Very nice piece.
3. It looks bleached and that could have been the cause of death. A bottle brush type like that needs to be low. Echinata would be my vote if you say it had purple polyps.
 
Hey that nice frags, sad to see the 3rd quary can't make it. But mine the 2nd one like an inch frag perished last week.
My vote will be
1. Acropora loisetteae - turqoise blue tip

2. Acropora hoeksemai - greenish bluish tip

3. Acropora echinata - Light cream bluish tip

Hoeksemia is a good possibility for the second. I have never had good long term luck with those. Never really grew for me. But did look like that but darker.
