Which coral is the third photo and whoops I forgot to include the pavona photo in. I will take a pic when I’m off work in a few hoursLooks like two hammers (green and purple), a frogspawn (green), and a generic red acan. The Acan might have some designer name but most of the time that I've seen they are just called by their color.
Are there just 4 pictures? I see nothing pavona like.
1 is a branching hammer (fimbriaphyllia paraancora)
From your first set of photos:The third photo is a hammer? It doesn’t look like it to me and first pic looks more like frogspawn
Clockwise from top left:Better pics?
What’s the difference between branching and wall?1 is a branching hammer (fimbriaphyllia paraancora)
2 is a micromussa, commonly called acan by the hobby
3 is a frogspawn (IDK whether it is branching or wall) (fimbriaphyllia (para)divisa)
4 is a wall hammer (fimbriaphyllia ancora)
Also, no specific names (besides what @encrustingacro provided)... they are nothing "fancy"Clockwise from top left:
1.Hammer
2.Frogspawn
3.Hammer or frammer
4.Possibly pavona but pic is a little blurry and I know there are other encrusting SPS that may look similar
What type of frogspawn?3rd pic is a frogspawn. Both the first hammer and the frog look bleached to me.

The light green type.What type of frogspawn?
If you're asking if it's branching or wall, you'll need to look at the way the skeleton is formed. The article I linked will help.What type of frogspawn?
Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Branching puts out new heads separate from each other, whereas walls grow in a line. Branching tends to be hardier.What’s the difference between branching and wall?
Just a regular green frogspawn. No special name, all of these are pretty standard morphs.What type of frogspawn?
Branching euphylliids have a phaceloid colony structure (like caulastrea or astraeosmilia), while wall euphylliids have a flabello-meandroid colony structure (like trachyphyllia or catalaphyllia). All euphyllias (torches) grow in a branching form, while fimbriaphyllias (hammers and frogspawn) can grow in either a wall or branching form depending on the species.What’s the difference between branching and wall?
The 4th photo is most likely a pavona.Better pics?
