I'm no good for street names but you are correct on all your guesses. The first unknown are palythoas second is zoanthids and the third is just a mushroom that looks slightly bleached

The colorful ones are blowpops. The last mushroom may be a superman but hard to tell until color comes back.

When I first noticed this mushroom this is what it looked like. It is in a 29G biocube with the stock lighting, approx. right on line of the lower 1/3 of the tank, & pretty much sheltered from the return flow on the side of a large rock. No idea where it came from or why it picked that place to grow.
