Long story short, ive always struggled with corals. Until like a year or 2 ive slowly started to collect them. I got these from someone but they never told me the names.

They are doing incredibly well rn but please give me advice or any important information I need to know about them! I know the basics but more is always appreciated, its hard to know how to take good care of a coral if you dont know the name to search info about for

Ive got multiple of these in my tank so i thought only a few images is enough

Thanks in advance everyone! I appreciate youuuu

The green up top looks like frogspawn.
Middle looks like pink waving hand anthelia.
Bottom is a Kenya tree.
 
1. Sinularia brassica
2. Xeniidae sp.
3.  Nephtheidae sp.
I agree with 1 and 3 but to me the second one looks very similar to my clove polyps with the way the base is a sort of tube on runners whereas my Xenia is more like a soft trunk.

The Xeniidae family includes more than just Xenia. Clavularia clove polyps have more colorful tentacles and have longer, more "neat" pinnules.
