These 3, not sure what they are. Got them as part of a bundle.

I usually put every new coral I get as low as possible and work them upward because too much light can damage and kill coral in hours, not enough light the coral will remain healthy but you get slower growth and you get good visual que's whether or not to raise whatever coral it is by looking at the polyp extension.
 
leptoseris, psammocora maybe, and chalice. I usually go with tidal gardens recommendations for corals at first, then move them to where they react the best
 
Already have had all 3 in low light for a couple weeks. Looking for best case for them.
 
Thanks though everyone. Even the ID will help me do some research now.
 
Agree with above they all mostly low-med light. That chalice can be in higher light. It is extremely fast grower and very aggressive with long sweepers at times(several inches) so give it room.
