Hi everyone , I am a novice at identifying some corals. I found these frags at Petco and in my LFS, the anemone and the mushroom that is causing addiction. Could you help me identify the coral that has the polyps, like a sea urchin?

1st and 2nd photo are a finger leather (I think)
2nd to last photo looks like a mushroom? Hard to tell with the blue lights
The last photo is a toadstool

on the flat tray you have from top left to right, finger leather, pavona coral, sad toadstool leather, another finger leather, maybe a green toadstool, and a very sad finger leather. (the finger leathers could also be Kenya tree leathers) the orange one looks like a mushroom and the last pic looks like a toadstool.

That's a Lobophytum I think, not a Pavona. Notice the thick fronds with blunt peripheries

I forgot to say the toadstool in the first images is the same as in the last one, the only thing that changes is that in the first ones they are in Petco and the last one is already inside my tank, the only problem is that the anemone chose the worst place under a rock bridge that I made away from the LED light.
