Coral Identification?

Hi. I found these today at the Wren's Nest, Dudley, England. I'm assuming they're all corals, is that correct? Can anyone offer me any species names or other info on them?

Anything is greatly appreciated 😊

Yes, they're tabulate corals. The large one is Thecia, the usual one there being T. expatiata, formerly T. swinburniana though I don't know how to distinguish it from others.

The stick ones, at least the top left two, are Coenites, probably C. juniperinus. The top right looks different and I can't see the other ones clearly enough to tell.

Here is a better pic of them if that helps? Thank you again for your information 🙂 

The far right one looks like something different. The others are all probably Coenites though they're not all in focus. :)
