Hard to tell from the picture, but it could be a Blastomussa merletti colony or some kind of Favites, either way an LPS, not an SPS.
 
First one is a Blastomussa, LPS
Second could very well be a Montipora setosa
Third one is definitely a Hydnophora, probably a H. exesa.

Be careful where you put that Hynophora. It's literally EAT any coral is can reach, and for an SPS, has remarkably long sweeper tentacles.
 
Thanks so much! I've had Blastomussa wellsi but thought these polyps were too small to be B. merletti. When I put on my reading glasses, I can see the similarities. LOL! Getting older sucks.

Thanks for the tips on the Hynophora.
