Soft Corals - Please ID them?

[freeblackfish]

I'm new to the hobby, and I'm planning on having only about 4 soft corals (and maybe one Duncan) to start.

Would you please identify the three corals in the images here? They're from a YouTube video about soft corals, but I'm not assuming they're all soft.

Apologies for the third one in the background (which is also in the upper right corner of the first one).

Thanks very much!

The middle picture, I think is a leather coral however not to sure on exactly what.

Middle one is a devils' finger coral.

One in the far back could be a lobo.

Personally, I'd like to see a better picture of those white branching ones, specifically the one on the right on the last pict.

No Lobophyllia don’t look like that I think the bottom image at the back may be a tanned sebae anemone?

Devils hand leather . . . .

Here you go. I think the one on the right that you mentioned isn't the same as the one on the left, which I'm interested in. Thanks, everyone!

Whatever they are, they are really bleached, especially one on the right

Number one hard to tell definitely fleshy, number two devil's hand or devil's finger, number three looks like a finger leather or spaghetti leather

The bleached one looking appear to be sinularia.

The one in the back could be sinularia sp. too although picture too blurry - could be kenya tree as well but perhaps too fuzzy and different structure.

We need sharper pictures. Stop the water flow for a minute if you have to.

This should help too. The difference between nepthia and sinularia is minute.

the last one is probably a S. asterolobata

Thanks again, everyone!
