    The monti cap should probably face away from your rocks, since its encrusting, it grows outwards and any rocks it touches, it will start to grow on them. The acropora should be high up in the light, but you should start with all of them near the bottom to light acclimate them to your tank to avoid bleaching or RTN

    1st looks like some kind of chalice, unfortunately there are just too many designer names out to properly ID these. They like low to mid light, mid flow IMO, very slow growers.

    2nd has growth like a birdsnest, but tips like an acro a better pic would help, but typically high flow and high light once it's been acclimated to your lights.

    3rd is a montipora capricornus, probably plating but it could scrolling, both are interesting growth patterns and both like high flow and mid to high light, once they acclimated to your lights.
