Hello all could you guys help me out and tell me what types of corals these are? Thanks!
 
Need a better pic of the first.

Trumpet/caulastrea

Green palythoa
 
I agree with the above. #1 looks like a very unhappy palythoa sp of some sort, #2 is definitely a torch, and #3 is a green paly often refereed to as "Texas Trash" . It is one of the species of palys known to contain high enough levels of palytoxin as to be harmful if handled improperly (gloves/eye protection, wash well afterwards. It can also spread very quickly and become a real problem to keep in check. Keep it isolated to it's own little rock pile!
 
#1 looks like a grandis paly that may be in too much flow.
#2 looks like trumpet
#3 look like nuclear green paly.
 
Billdog meant trumpet on #2, not torch.
