The top one is a chalice - place on rocks
the one on the right is a mushroom - place on rocks or on sand
TBH im not 100% sure about the bottom one and the left one. I think the bottom one might be a montipora, in which case i'd place it higher on the rocks. The one on the left could be a leptoseris, which I would place on the rocks.

The orange and yellow is definitely lepto, I have the same lepto in my tank and it’s great for encrusting literally anything
