Top one looks to be a cyphastrea, haven't seen that color combo though.. Looks really cool :)
Next is a chalice and finally an acan
 
Agree with above. As for price around 15-30 for each but does vary by area. The cyphastrea is not a common coloring.

All three low lighting.
 
I have encrusting monti, looks nothing like that.
 
OK looking closer, what I took to be polyps are not. They are more like nouths,/eyes whatever. I withdraw my guess.

Easy mistake. What we are guessing as a cyphastrea when the polyps are not totally out, like the above picture, can look like another SPS.

Cyphastrea seem to be a species that many can get to grow but many times never get the polyps to make that fully expanded look you see online
