Browned out Cyphastrea, (should be bright) left maybe pavona, right maybe favia, or lepto, but that one’s dying.

Is green not a hulk lepto? right maybe Spitfire Leptastria? Can't guess on Cyphastrea... looks like they could use some love but that's a great deal and it will be fun to get them back to health (hopefully). Those are all moderately hardy.

Yeah it was a Petco so poor conditions and poor lighting, hopefully they take the turn for the best and come back! All my other corals are happy and seeing great growth!

One Petco near me is great the other is well I almost always say no to buying anything but for the price it was worth the risk

Top is Cyphastrea, right is Leptoseris, left is a Fungiid of some sort. I think it's Lithophyllon, but if it's free-living, then it's Sandalolitha. Another possibility is Cycloseris explanulata.

Looks similar to this correct? If so, like was also mentioned, if it’s free living and has some mountainous growth it’s probably Sandolitha dentata
not necessarily dentata; there are other species in the genus that it could be.

Very true. For what it’s worth - I was able to have a buddy of mine asl Julian Sprung for help in ID’ing the one in my picture. After looking at other corals in the same shipment he positively said it’s Dentata. Although, that’s only for mine, not for the one from OP.

What’s your opinion? Robusta?

I honestly don't know how to ID Sandalolitha species
