I can't tell if #1 is an encrusting Gorg or a GSP.  I'm leaning toward the GSP.

 

4 looks like Heteroxenia.  If so that's a good find as it's not very common.

#2 looks like a pagoda cup to me (turbinaria peltata) without polyp extension. Or some type of encrusting coral shrug.gif

mm doesnt look like a cup coral to me as I have one large one in my tank and doesnt look anything like it.

It sure is something encrusting but what?

I am not sure. The growth pattern looks similar to the one I said, but I dont know, I haven't seen anything that looks like that.

Maybe a chalice. Like the Echinophyllia echinoporoides, costata, or aspera. Similar I think.

I think you might be right with the chalice
