Update (April 2, 2022):
Based on the posts below, the plants have been identified as follows:
Plant 1 - Blue Chalk Sticks (Senecio serpens)
Plant 2 - A type of Crassula
Plant 3 - A type of Sedum
Plant 4 - Baby burro tail (though not confirmed)
Plant 5 - Sedum jelly beans (Sedum rubrotinctum)

After plants 2 and 3 have grown more (and under better conditions) I will post new threads to see if they can be further identified.

Thanks for all your help!

Sorry that there are multiple plants here. But about 3 years ago I bought a small pot with 5 succulents at a Home Show. Now that they are bigger and perhaps need separating, I'd like to know what they are.

Here are 2 shots of the pot, with color coding for the plants. I believe that the "pink" plant is baby burrito tail and the "red" plant is sedum jelly bean.
But 3 plants (blue, yellow and white) still need IDs.

Here is another view of plant 3.

Lastly, here is a shot of the new growth of Jelly Bean (5?) and Plant 3.

The yellow circle is Blue Chalk Sticks (Senecio serpens). They need a bigger pot but also lots more light.

Thank you, DaisyI. So you think I can keep them together in a bigger pot? The current pot is about 3". How much bigger should I go?

Plant #3 is some species of Sedum (My favorite!)
Plant #5 is too small to ID for now.

I agree with the ID of sedum jelly bean. It might be sedum album, or 'Mini Me', depending on how it grows and how small it is, so be sure to post an update if you want.

Thank you for your reply. I will post an update in a few months. Hopefully the plants will have grown and be in better shape.

Several branches of the sedum jelly bean were growing out of the pot but they kept losing leaves. I have a section that I started in another pot from a trailing branch and removed the other.

When I first saw the pinkish white growth, I first thought it was a flower, as in this photo.

But after looking online I saw that it was new growth. Which leads me to ask, when is the new growth white/pink? I assume that it doesn't grow that way when it's from an established stem.

It's a variegated baby! Hurray! But, that pink growth is albino, so it has no chlorophyll. So, it's useless to the plant, as it doesn't make more food. So, cut off the pink growth so the new growth will be green or variegated.

WAIT!
plant #3, is that fuzz ATTACHED to the plant? If so, its Anacampseros!! If not, it's a sedum species, not jelly bean in this case.

There's no reason to cut it off. Enjoy the uniqueness of your plant.

Oh I'm talking about the albino part. The albino, bright pink part, if continue growing, is technically parasitic. It takes energy from the regular green or variegated leaves to grow, but can't produce it's own energy. Usually you'd chop off the albino part to encourage variegated or green growth.
Edit:
Most growers will let 1-2-3 or just a few albino leaves to grow, just to see and take photos, and then chop off teh albino to encourage variegated leaves.

See this leaf? The stripy leaf still has some green in it, it's variegated. You can cut above this if you want. Cutting above this will encourage variegated, hopefully not still albino growth.Fully pink leaves produce no food for teh plant, but the stripy still produce food -- just less.

So am I. It may be a sport or it may be new growth. Its not a parasite.

I suppose that might be true. It's the same plant, probably a sport, seeing the variegated leaves.

SOrry for not being clear... when I mean "parasitic" i just mean it kinda acts like one (Assuming the pink doesn't fade to green).

I suppose a little waitin' wouldn't hurt. If the pink does not fade though, I think you might want to cut it off. If it fades, you might have something new.

Here is an excerpt from gardeningknowhow for more info (to original poster):
"Plants having no chlorophyll are unable to absorb and produce energy for growth from sunlight. This inability to complete photosynthesis will eventually cause the albino seedling to wither and die once its energy stores have been exhausted. Plants that demonstrate only partial albinism are able to grow to larger sizes, but may remain small or stunted due to diminished amounts of chlorophyll within the plant. Although some scientists are able to keep albino seedlings alive for short amounts of time using special soil and treatments, it is rare in the home garden to grow albino plants to mature size. Home gardeners wishing to add unique and interesting foliage to their gardens can do so by seeking varieties that demonstrate some, but not complete, plant mutation such as variegated plant species that are specifically bred for this trait.

This does look like S. rubrotinctum (jelly beans.)

Sorry but everything I read on GardeningKnowHow is taken with a large grain of salt. And she talking about seedlings. This is a new branch on an old plant.

Good point, Daisy! I suppose the best decision is to wait for a while.

Albino growth can just sometimes randomly pop-up, usually from seedlings. Sometimes from cuttings, or mature plants.

It will be Super interesting to see how it grows!!
