#2 is a zoa/paly.
I can see that That's what it looks like in the photo!
I should have gotten a better picture of it but they're being acclimated right now. It actually is some type of montipora, but I didn't know if it had some kind of cool stupid name! lol.

1. Possibly an acropora
2. Looks like a cyphastrea, probably a branching type
3. Seriatopora (birdsnest)
4. Acropora
I appreciate it I just got back in touch with the fellow that I received them from. Number four is an interesting note, He claims it is an A. tortuosa or "Miyagi". Granted this guy has been around since probably the Korean war, but I was understanding that they did not trade this coral anymore? He did have a huge mother colony.

Also, is there a way to tell if the bird's nest is a ponepa? Thanks again

I think @yanetterer is spot on for the last three. The first one looks like an anacropra. Miyagi torts are still around https://www.aquariumcreationsonline.net/MiyagiTortuosaAcropora.html
