I have 3 corals on one frag and have no clue...the top one is pinkish purple with yellow spots and the lower one is green with grass like tentacles and the other looks like a tree with green polyps when open..

Turbinaria and what looks like a Bird's Nest.
 
The green algae look like algae....might be GSP, but looks like macro algae to me...need a better picture to be sure.
 
Yep agree with both. Looks like some sort of cup Coral, A bird's nest, and some type of macroalgae
 
The lower left one may also be a pociloporra. At least some of mine look very similar to that when their polyps are all closed.
 
You guys were right..Cup coral, stylaphora and macro...thanks so much
 
Looks like a pocillopora to me as well and a turf algae that you want to get rid of completely.
 
The red strands beneath the cup coral look like a turf algae as well. I would try to remove it also.
 
The orange patch on the right is a sponge I think. The green alga might turn out to be bryopsis or a similar turf algae. The lower left coral is Pocillopora damicornis.
