    Oh dang those are at SOM right now? I may have to run over there!

    I'm sure this doesn't help much but they are all varieties of acropora.. which are pretty difficult to precisely identify with over 100 species. I'm certainly not an expert at identifying the varieties, but to me it looks llike the first is some kind of bushy acropora (cerealis, nasuta, valida, or several other possibilities), the second one looks like a tabling variety of acropora suharsonoi or acropora lokani, and the third is tricky.. could be an acropora valida.

    If you really want to get into identifying the specific species check out http://www.coralsee.org/

    That last one looks like some sort of valida.
