Probably some sort of Montii Cap, probably a Stylophora and some Acans or Blastos.
Hard to tell with the pics.
 
#3 is almost for sure a Favia of some sort, #1 I'd guess a Pavona, and #2.... Millepora?

If you can get better photos, this might help.
 
1. Psammocora
2. photo too blurry to tell but likely also Psammocora
3. Merulinidae sp., likely Dipsastraea; true Favia don't exist in the hobby
 
hopefully these help
