I acquired a tank (and everything in it) for crazy cheap but the owner didn't know much about the corals. They are doing extremely well after the move and I'm getting back in the hobby after 15 years out. I'm looking for some help on IDing these things. Thanks in advance.

In order: Some kind of leptastrea, gold leptoseris, another leptastrea, some type of pagoda coral? stylocoeniella, and some type of "favia".
 
First picture looks like a rock outta the Flintstones quarry? :) Otherwise it looks like @MoshJosh has some fairly reliable answers?

And maybe and lps? Torch or Hammer, or frogspawn, but I believe torch?
 
Thanks guys, yea I have the LPS info, it's that guy behind. I need to bone up on my photo skills

Not sure about the brown one. Kind of looks like a porites but it could be cactus coral (Pavonna?)
 
3rd and 4th are leptastrea and cyphastrea

Stylo maybe and favia on the next post pics
 
2nd looks like a leptoseris, maybe jackolantern
 
Spitfire leptastrea and maybe bizarro cyphastrea
 
Need encrustingacro to pop in and ID the first one and share the updated names
