1 and 2 look like some kind of Euphyllia and a macro algae.

3 looks like sun coral and not that happy a one - altho it could be growing as opposed to receading.

4 looks like carnation - not sure if it is tho. If it is you should take back - experts only

5 looks like clove polyps or xenia.

Chillis come in all different variations of red/orange.. It could be a carnation, but Ive never seen polyps like that on a carnation.
