The first picture is a Plerogyra sp., which is the Pearl Bubble coral.
The third picture seems like a species of button polyps.

elephant ears can also be a bright neon green color but thats the only 2 colors that I have seen but the one you have looks like a single hairy mushroom..
did they sell it to you as a elephant mushroom? if so what did you pay for it?
here is a pic of elephant that was in the process of dieing but it was a bright neon green!!!!..

it was a true color coral it started out a lot smaller then what it is in the pic.
the reason it dies was the puffer decided it was something to shred up and damaged it beyond a repairable state.
the green (when it was heathly) got more intense when it was under halides) but it was a neon GSP green! very gergous color to it. but it was a natural color ;-Þ I really wish that I had a pic of it before it started downhill.
