Thank you in advance. The orange one is hard but I'm not sure what it is, got these yesterday, didn't pay anything for the orange one figured I'd nurse it back. It has sand in it's mouth from what I can tell, I'm hoping I can feed it and see if that helps anything.

Not quite sure what the orange one is but the others are fox corals.
 
The two pink ones are fox coral, related to Bubble coral. They like moderate light and low flow. The orange one is a species related to Homophyllia australis, I'm blanking on the name, but they are quite uncommon in the hobby so to get it free was a steal! Get the sand off of the flesh ASAP and, if you can, move it to a low flow, low light area on the rocks. Scolies hate sand, they can't get it off of their flesh and it ends up digging through them slowly.
Good luck with the piece! Don't start feeding it until it re-inflates a little bit more.
Have a nice day and God bless!
 
Mushroom coral for the 1st picture my husband just got some a week ago paid quite a bit for it

Makes sense, I'm going to move it to a lower energy area today, I'll find a flat rock for it. Thanks

I don’t think its a Fungia so I would have to agree that its most likely a Homophyllia. OP could google Homophyllia skeleton and make a comparison. Looks pretty similar to what you have in my opinion.

Could be, guy didn't say, he said nurse it if possible or throw it out. Would be nice to nurse it back. While I'm here, what's a good remedy for cyano? My parameters are:
Ph:8.22
Alk: 7.8 dkh(stable)
No3: >5ppm
Po4: 0.06ppm
Calcium: 420ppm
Magnesium:1400ppm

Thanks everyone, I guess I'll wait to see what it does.
