Just taking a guess
the first pic is either trumpet coral (candy cane coral) or blastomussa
the second pic looks like a hairy mushroom
The last pic looks like a ricordia yuma

im sure i have something wrong tho....

3rd pic for sure is a YUMA a nice one too...

How come you have some corals and you dont know the name of them ... were they a present from someone or LFS did tell you what were they????

The"hairy mushroom" pic 2, that one i got with the tank, it was the onl living thing left... some guy had had a nice 75 gallong setup, and then let it go to hell... then we sold it online to us... The rock was dead, no coraline algea to speak of... and on one rock was this pink blob. after reestablishing the tank, after moving it 150 miles... it came back to life... and split its self... then they stopped growing... until we change the lighting system, and added caclium and trace elements. now both are huge and splitting again.
Pic 1... that is a pet stores fault. I paid a whopping 2.49 for the rock it was on. I knew it was a coral, but dared not ask, cause then they'd want me to pay for the coral they didn't know was there.
Pic 3... i got that off another petsore for lke $35 with 7 heads on it... they didn't know what it was really... and seemed to refer to it as a "fuzzy mushroom" and i honestly have no idea if it is a fuzzy or if it is a ricordia...

but those are all the corals that i have.

3rd pic we called them YUMAS or like Brandon mentioned ricordia yuma cause comes from the family of the ricordias but in simple name is like saying that is a mushroom.....but well known as YUMA :D 7 head for $35 thats a deal....for the color that YUMA has you can sell for more than that .... thats all i can say i think all the corals that you have you got them almost free
