    First one is ORA Kelly's Green Psammocora that is not doing very well.
    ORA - Kelly Green Psammocora

    No idea on the 2nd

    and the 3rd looks like a valida of some type doing quite poorly also.

    Well, the plug is 100% ORA Black plug, meaning aquacultured not maricultured. The skeleton is very similar to that of all Psammocora, and the color is slightly hued toward green to my eye.

    My best guess is as stated.
