Just received a mystery five pack + freebie from AquaSD. I need help identifying theses. I know that one is a candy cane, and I think I may know what the others are, but I'm not certain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Top two or definitely not blastos I should have provided a side view for those. They kind of look like Duncan corals but I'm not 100% on that. I think the favia is correct as it looks very similar to a favia that came in with the same order. Thanks for confirming the bottom one is an acan but it's definitely a different type

first 2 pictures appear to be duncan corals that are somewhat retracted. Could be a little stressed from transport if you just got them. They seem to be hardy corals so I wouldn't be to worried.
The lights weren't on for very long when i took the picture. Two head one was fully extended last night its about 4" tall. The other isn't very tall. But was also fully open last night.
