The coral at the back in the first picture looks like a red mili. The corals in the 2nd and 3rd pictures look like a secale and a tenuis.
 
The pink one in the first photo could be A. millepora or A. prostrata at this point they look identical when they are small. The difference is A.millepora will grow into a tight table with stumpy think unifor branches, and A. prostrata will grow longer thin branches. The other one in that photo is tough to say, the pic is blurry and the corallites are hard to make out.

I am thinking Acropora valida for the second. http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0077

And the third might be A. tenius, but the branches are really think to be that. It is more likely A. vermiculata. http://coral.aims.gov.au/factsheet.jsp?speciesCode=0787
