Am I correct on the species names of these sps corals? Just want to double check that I've got it right. If you know a common name of any of these, that would be nice to know as well.

Acropora Sp.

Acropora millepora

Montipora digitata
 
1st one looks exactly like the one I have, I thinks its an acropora yongei. Let the experts confirm....
 
definitely right on the last 2. The first pic does look like a stag of some sort. If it was an yongie, thats the green slimer, usually, yet this doesn't have that color. Does it slime to the touch?? It's a very nice stag all the same. It may be an A. formosa.

it does foam to the touch. I just noticed that today actually.
 
Acropora vaughani or A. formosa. On A. formosa you can see small fine lines on the raidial corallites. A. vaughani is usually a blue/purple color with lighter colored tips (axial corallites).

Acropora millepora or A. prostrata.

Montipora digitata
are my guesses.
