First two hammer (2nd pic may be due to low calcium), rock anemone and I believe Leptoseris coral
 
4th coral isn't a Blastomussa; Blastomussa are phaceloid and don't encrust. I would say it's either a plocoid Leptastrea or Plesiastrea
 
I'm thinking favities of some sort, polyps aren't quite right for a Leptastrea
The Favites of that polyp size (pentagona clade) would not be plocoid. There are plocoid Leptastrea:

There is also the other option of Plesiastrea, which seems more likely.
