I recently aquired a few frag pieces. Looking for and ID of these pieces. The one looks like it is dieing off, and i would like to do some research for it to perhaps see what is or could be going wrong. Any help is greatly helpful.

This is the one that is starting to bleach/die off.

First of all, those are LPS. Second of all there are MANY reasons it could be dying off. No one can help you unless you tell us what lighting you have, position of the coral under said lighting, and most importantly of all...your alk, mag, cal, and sg levels

Also most LPS like to be fed here and there
 
2nd one looks like a frogspawn all shrivled up, mine did this due to too bright of light, I had to move it to the bottom in some shade, but it's a 150w MH over a 12g nano, so it's a lot of light no matter what, even my sps don't like to be any higher then the ground. Check your alk and nitrates. My star polyps don't extend when my alk is off.
 
I thought the second one was a Duncanopsammia axifuga. Its shrivled cause i had moved it recently and its getting too much flow from my mp40. I took the photos this morning after a 3 day no light period. All these pieces are under a 175w MH lighting running 14k bulbs. Ive been spot feeding them with an oyster liquid(cant remember the name, came under recomendation from my LFS). All the rest of my corals are doing great, just concerned about the War Coral, and the Prism Farvia.
 
Not an expert but #1 looks like War and Peace Coral, #2 Duncanopsammia Axifuga, and #3 looks like Prism coral as already stated.
