I'm not that good at coral ID, but those look like mushroom corals to me. Fairly easy to keep and they don't require high PAR lighting.

+1 mushrooms. They are classified as soft corals; dosing is be less important for soft corals.

Green mushrooms and fuzzy green mushrooms; which is which should be obvious. These are the kind that you can just let go wild if you like them and they will cover everything. Like dirty water, don't care as much about par. Also some green fuzzies get gigantic - 6 inches across or more when fully inflated.

Looks like a mix of fuzzy mushrooms and discosomas for the dark green ones. Discosomas can easily take over a tank if tank conditions are favorable.
