    Sorry can not help with the fancy name of the palythoas, they do look more like palys than zoanthids to me at least. Next Caulastrea furcata I believe and last a Rhodactis.

    The first looks like a red people eater depending on how much you paid for it.

    By actual names to you mean their scientific (latin) names or commercial names.

    The last mushroom coral is actually Discosoma neglecta, AKA Umbrella mushroom, a Caribbean species that doesn't get collected to often. You will usually not see them for sale attached to anything because of the means they are collected.
