First one looks like a finger leather, second one looks like a cynarina, and the 3rd looks like a Scolymia.

I was pretty sure about the leather. the 2nd I thought was a scoly. but i could be wrong. for some reason i thought the 3rd was a button something or nother haha.

The first one is a Cauliflower Colt Coral (Cladiella sp.) ... I have one almost identicle in size.. A leather coral that is very difficult to identify an exact species because there is so much variation of shape and color within each.shares

im pretty sure its NOT a colt coral. I have a lot of colt corals and they look and feel nothing a like. the colt is real soft and slimmy feeling. this leather I have pictured is hard feeling and feels like still leather. im pretty convinced its not colt.
