Help to identify all three corals. Top and bottom pictures looks like I should be doing something to these corals especially the top coral started with two heads now up to almost four, and the bottom picture just looks crowded to me, middle picture what is the coral on the left I have forgotten it's name. Thanks Mike

It did not post pictures as I loaded them. tpo one looks crowded middle one has multiple new heads and just the idenity of left coral on the bottom picture
 
Zoanthids, no idea what type.

Goniopora

Image #1 and #2 are LPS and look to have lost some color, but that just may be the light they are under.

On the money as usual. I agree :)
 
The center picture the heads are getting so large and 2 new are forming.should I frag it or just let it grow.Another question when feeding do all the heads need feed or dose it all end up for the betterment of the coral no matter who gets the food?????
 
I would not frag without a reason. Meaning space is running out (overcrowding). Then again, I do not frag much at all. JMO

Duncans will get large and very pretty. I do not feed every head. Broadcast feeding works fine with these guys. (that means just feeding the tank not targeting).
 
I would say take a stab at the zoa's. If it's something you want to learn and try, then go for it. Be careful and wear some eye protection if you can. Another tip, if you score the flesh on the matting of zoa's, sometimes a few more polyps will pop up in time
