Can you help identify these 3 corals? :)

Just purchased 2 corals and have an older one, but cannot find much info with the names I was given.

SPS pic: Was called Hidnophora I think. Is this the correct name?

LPS-Red button coral: Again, is this the correct name?

LPS-Acan: This has been referred to as a Blastomussa and a type of Acan. Is this either one of those?

Many thanks and happy New Year reefers!

Hydnophora, Red Open Brain, and Acan. (not Blastomussa)

Hydnophora sp., Lobophyllia hemprichii and Acanthastrea lordhowensis.

#2: It's a Trachyphyllia geoffroyi, I believe, not a Lobo.

Yes, a couple of times a week after the lights turn off.
