ID Please...

Sorry about that Jamie, it was actually a joke. Discosoma used to be the Scientific name of many of the common mushroom anemones. Now itââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s changed to another name.
 
I agree #3 might be a mushroom. It's difficult to tell if the fleshy polyps (on top) are attached to a rock or a skeleton in that pic.

I take it you copied and pasted this info from somewhere (?)
If not, nice work!
Some minor mistakes I noticed after briefly scanning the info:
Lobophytum is misspelled.
Trachyphyllia has recently been placed under Wellsophyllia.

Guilty! Quick search on the net. I should have given credit to the author:

HARDY CORALS FOR THE BEGINNER

I could be wrong, but the profile of the tentacles on #3 look almost rectangular. Could it possibly be st thomasae? (discosoma / rodactis) sanctithomae
 
The fist one looks like a scolomia brain ( not shure of the correct spelling) but I have one the looks just like that. The next two look like trumpet and peal coral.
