first two pics are of a zoa (zoanthus gigantus)....very nice and sparkly! (EDIT: they're the "People Eater" variety b/c of the thin green slit for the mouth)

the last pic is hard to discern...but it's prolly an acanthastrea echinata or sub-echinata, imo....or maybe a hillae.......get a better pic :)

I'll try again tonite...my camera doesn't have the White balance function I think...have to check the manual.

Some people that don't have adjustable settings will just have the tank lit normally and the camera set with flash on, covering the flash. The camera will be set for a very bright picture and covering the flash will prevent it from drowning the colour out. I don't know if it'll help but it may be worth a shot.
