Default 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!

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

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