This is the main question I have, it has yellow polyps that extend out (They were extended at my LFS when I bought this frag). It's been a couple days and I have yet to see them extend out, trying to ID them so I can further understand their needs as far as placement, flow, and whatnot.

The next one is some kind of encrusting/plating coral with a purpleish/brown body with green "eyes", just trying to figure out what it is, the LFS had no idea other than "encrusting coral"

This one is a birdsnest I know, just trying to get the type of birdsnest that it is.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm not sure if it's a sun coral, the polyps seem too small to be that, they were the size of a dime or less.

Hollywood stunner looks like a winner, definitely some form of chalice after I looked up the hollywood stunner.

First is a sun coral. The poyps are much smaller than a dendro. Sun coral poyps vary by size of coral itself. Generally less than an inch when extended. Dendros look different on outer skeleton and 2-3 times larger in polyp size. Both need to be manually fed.
