    The finger leather has some necrosis but should pull through if you keep your water in good condition.

    That is a patch of mostly dead Anthelia but if you keep your Ammonia down has a shot of coming back.

    The green palythoa are very hardy and should be just fine. Again, keep your Ammonia down.

    Very good.

    #1 could possibly be in the tree family too.
    #2 could possibly be clove/ Anthelia.
    #3 Same, Palys...
    all pretty hardy... watch water params.
