I bought some aquacultured live rock from my LFS. This beautiful coral started to grow out of it. I also have about 12 Zoas and some other unknown very small coral polyps I have never seen before. If anyone can ID these corals I would appreciate it.

First looks like an echinata. You sure about favites?1. Favites pentagona
2. cf Acroporidae sp.
3. Zoanthus sansibaricus
Flesh texture isn't right and corallites too small to be Acanthastrea. The coral is just deformed from captivityFirst looks like an echinata. You sure about favites?
