#1 could be manjano anemone.
The rest are some nice mushrooms and a few palys.
I would look up manjano anemone and see if you agree because if that is what they are they are pests that should be removed.

#1 Im 99% positive those are Majano anemones ( Pests! Remove ASAP! ) and Green Mouth Paly's
#2 Ive seen them called Melon/Striped Mushrooms
#3 Blue Dot Mushrooms/ ( and looks like Nuclear Green Paly's )
#4 Lighter Colored ( and probably a little more common ) Dot Shrooms

Nice Softies!

I've heard people kill them by injecting kalk paste into them, they also have majano wands ( pretty unique in the way they work ) and some say scraping them off the rock as long as you get all of them you should be good.

Some people have had luck with peppermint shrimp eating them as well.

I agree with #1 being majano. Don't go in and try to destroy it as this will make it spread (stab or manually removing I mean). Use a fish to eat them or I believe some report various pastes are effective. Also burning them doesn't work.

I always use aiptasia eating or matted filefish but they can pose a thread to polyps and other coral as well. Mine have been well behaved but I've read horror stories..
