I acquired a tank (and everything in it) for crazy cheap but the owner didn't know much about the corals. They are doing extremely well after the move and I'm getting back in the hobby after 15 years out. I'm looking for some help on IDing these things. Thanks in advance.

First picture looks like a rock outta the Flintstones quarry? :) Otherwise it looks like @MoshJosh has some fairly reliable answers?

And maybe and lps? Torch or Hammer, or frogspawn, but I believe torch?

Not sure about the brown one. Kind of looks like a porites but it could be cactus coral (Pavonna?)
