The word brain coral is a catch description for dozens of unrelated corals.

The first looks like a mummy eye. As other posts above mentioned.

The really puffy green. Looks like a trachyphyllia or a Lobophyllia.

The hairy green one looks like a cactus pavona. Not to be confused with a mint pavona. The cactus is a high light variety. Most other pavona are low light.

The Christmas one is a favia type. There are dozens of favias. The exact type is hard to determine. But care is the same.
