Hi all I recently bought a stocked tank for my wife. There a few soft corals in there that I was hoping for some help to ID so I can can research them.

1) this guy is about the size of a soft ball:

2) there’s quite a few of these that kind of look like mushrooms you’d find in the woods but green:

3) These are obviously mushrooms but anyone know the type?

4) these are flowing and look like a bunch of branches

Thank you for any feedback!
 
1) sinularia finger leather.

2) toadstool leathers. Sarcophyton sp.

3) not sure on the red, green striped (wagon wheel) mushrooms. Discoma sp.

4) colt or Kenya tree.
1 is Lobophytum, not Sinularia. Former Sinularia (now Sclerophytum) don't have any siphonozooids, and current Sinularia are more cabbage leathers. This is probably Lobophytum because of siphonozooids.
