Leftmost is Adromischus Herrei, middle is Faucaria Tuberculosa and I can’t tell what the third one is.
You need a mostly inorganic, well-draining soil. Akadama retains water, so if you use it, keep it to a minimum. I use 40% pumice, 40% horticultural grit and 20% cactus soil.

I have the exact one on the far right, and it’s doing well in a mix of potting soil, sand, and clay cat litter, in proportions that make it drain quickly. I water it maybe twice a week.
I picked mine up from home depot, and they had it in a peat plug. That was horrible for it, because wet peat is too wet, and dry peat is too hydrophobic, so I had some portions of the cluster dying from root rot, and some portions dying from dehydration at the same time. I had to pull it up, and carefully remove all the peat from the root tuber, before repotting it in my mix. A few more lobes died from the transition, and it got down to my last lobe. Fortunately, that last one survived, bounced back, and multiplied.

# 3 looks like Aloinopsis schooneesii.
