Three ID's needed please!

Hey guys, I need some advice from the experts on these pieces. I'm new to SPS, so I'd like to know exactly what I've got. (I have 175w of MH over a 12g tank, so lighting is not a concern).

Keep in mind that these pieces were just added to my tank today, so hopefully if they don't look super healthy that's the cause. The first TWO pieces were fragged fresh today from the mother colony, so if they look especially rough hopefully they'll recover.

First piece, I believe it to be a variety of Hydno but would like a definite ID:

Second piece, which I believe to be Porites, but would like a definite ID:

The third piece, which I believe is a species of Pocillipora, but, again, I'd like a definite ID:

Thanks in advance, all!
 
I figured I was correct on the genus name, but I'm interested in the specific name for all of them as well. It's not a big deal, really, I just like to know exactly what I have :)
 
third looks like damicornis,

not sure on the hydno species,

and porites, good luck finding a species. i wouldn't even know where to start.
 
Thanks...I may just have to accept the fact that I won't have full species names for everything in my tank.
