#1 is Leptoseris, not Leptastrea.

#2 is probably a baby Fungia, but need to grow a bit for positive ID. A pic of the bottom would help.

#3 is certainly a Faviid.

Well, at least whatever #2 is, it appears to be alive still. It looks like its flesh is expanding (it's still on the sand), when food/water from the baster goes over it it contracts, and has little tiny spikey looking things on the topside (tentacles?). Yay!

#1 doesn't appear to have much of a change yet. I haven't seen the mouths move. I saw a suggestion on another forum for someone else inquiring about bleached corals. They suggested putting a small piece of Mysis or brine on each mouth and turning off all flow for 20 minutes for a couple nights in the hope it eats it.

I've also been dosing some vitamins and such.

Ok, I'm convinced it is indeed a Fungia then.

Leptoseris are technically SPS corals, but you treat them more like an LPS (medium flow, medium light). Their polyps are too small to eat Mysis or adult Brine Shrimp, but you could try spot feeding with baby Brine Shrimp or Cyclopeeze.

#2 is definitely a plate. I just watched it devour a brine shrimp whole from the little suspected mouth up top. Glad to see this one has hope! As for the other one, I guess I just have to wait to see if it colours up??
