I need help identifying coral

[Turtlegirlb]

Can you help me figure out what these coral are? This coral came with the tank/rock we bought and I can't identify these three. The third one is the one on the rock behind the birds nest coral. Thanks!

first is possibly a plate coral or pavona
second is a ricordia
third is a favia

tough to tell in the pics though

Thanks guys for the identification of the corals.
Let me add to this that I spotted some Cyano bacteria on your rocks.
It can be common with a new tank setup but still need to address it.

We've been battling the cyano since we bought and moved the tank a month ago. It is slowly decreasing but is a nightmare. We have increased flow, reduced feeding, syphoning bed to try and capture the bacteria during weekly water change and I am using a turkey baster to remove as much as I can daily. Not sure what else we can do other than dose it with a red slime product, but I'd prefer to wait it out if possible...

Best advice is to run lights off for a few days to clear out cyano. You can even run your blues just no white. I've done this in both my tanks and it works great

Good to see you're on top of it.
You can siphon it out when you do your weekly WC and daily dose of bacteria.
The new Aquaforest is concentrated bacteria product and need only one drop per 25 gallons.
Cyano will grow in poor balanced systems and to spike the bacteria population you'll fight it off.
Other things you can do is reduce the photo period of your lights with two or three hours.
