Please and thank you

First one had some upward branching on the parent colony as well as the plating growth pattern like this piece. Second one was a live rock hitchhiker probably from Florida live rock I’m guessing I split it away from the Rock to remove a boring mollusk that was underneath. It’s currently unattached and just growing in sort of a ball. Last two are brain light pieces that I picked up from teardowns. The sellers couldn’t say what they are.

I’m not sure these fit. Maybe I need to try and take pics to show scale better. I have a leptastea and what I think is a favia also and they seem quite different.

Montipora, Leptastrea, last two are Paragoniastrea australensis

Wondering if the montipora could be Montipora capitata since op mentioned the parent colony had branching structures? Does it look like it to you?

Interesting, I figured it was a monti but it’s definitely very different from the other montis I have.

not capitata, capitata has tuberculae while this colony has papillae
