We were in KC today, and went by a local fish store. I saw a cool looking torch (I believe) and got two others. They had a deal, buy 2 get 1 free. So of course I bought another to get a free one.

I need help identifying everything.

So I believe the torch is purple and yellow.

I’m not sure on the other two, can anyone help me? Also does anyone know what kind of torch it is?

They had kids working at the store and they had no idea.

Tried to get a better picture of the other one. It does have polyps that come out.

The lashes on the polyps look more Alveopora but it's really hard to tell with the pictures.
 
One has 8 right?
Like @Goaway said, Alveopora have 12 lashes, Goniopora have 24. There are also Bernadapora which don't always follow the rules when it comes to number of lashes, and they typically have shorter polyps.
 
Sorry, my pictures aren't the best

Gonis in the back, short green im the front is probably a Bernadapora.

Alveoporas
 
I was able to get a better picture of mine when I got home from work. The polyps were really coming out.

I can't count but it looks like 12-14. 12 is Alveopora, 14 would be more likely Bernardopora.
