Other 3 succulents to ID

Third one looks like some sort of Hoya or Dischidia (they are closely related).

I think #2 could be cotyledon orbiculata.

#3 is a Xerosicyos danguyi. It is a vine that grows in the thorn forest of southern Madagascar.
#1 might be a Tradescantia - are the leaves hairy? Hard to tell from the picture, but those little boat shaped leaves remind me of Tradescantia.

#1 Does look very like a Tradescantia. Callisia navicularis, perhaps? Also called Tradescantia navicularis.

Ok thanks to all.

I go for the following

1)Tradescantia navicularis
2) Cotyledon orbiculata var. oblonga 'Macrantha' (this is the most similar I found the othe cotyledon orbiculata have completely different leaves)
3) Xerosicyos danguyi but Dischidia nummularia is very similar (how can I distinguish them ???)

2 is not 'Macrantha'. Have you checked Cotyledon elisae? The darker red and fairly dainty dimensions lead me that direction. (I have about 10 different C orbiculata varieties but this most resembles my C elisae from the Huntington.)
