The bulbous thing on the left looks like a closed up shroom IMO.

From the pic it's hard to tell, but my guess would be that the white things are just part of the corals color.

I'm not sure if people actually name these things like they do zoos/chalice/etc, but I'm fairly sure that these are all rhodactus. (probably spelled it wrong :p)

That green one with brown tips will turn VERY bright green if you place it under good lighting.
 
I think those little white things are mesenterial filaments, string/coil like growths which are part of a coral's digestive system. I believe they are sometimes extended to attack things in a way similar to sweeper tentacles or when a coral is stressed. I have noticed my mushroom coral(which looks identical to the one displaying these white protrusions in your picture) doing them when it gets moved or touched.

I would agree that the bulbous thing on the left is a folded mushroom, mine do that when they eat.
