I just picked up a ton of corals from a frag swap and I seem to have forgotten what they are called. I know their species but not their specific names. I can tank more close up pictures if need be

+1 but the first pic is tyree Indo toadstool.
 
Is the green polyps branching on a type of montipora digi or birdsnest? (2nd image of closeups)

It's sertiopora, most likely S. guttatus

That 3rd one down is sertiopora hystrix and that color morph with pink tips is usually referred to as ponape birdsnest.

First one is definitely a zoanthid, it looks similar to a purple people eater, but has some speckles on the disc, so I'm sure the zoa freaks call it something else.
 
The first zoa looks like space monster. Second zoa I've seen but not sure of the name. Keep thinking WWC bloodsucker but your picture looks more orange and bloodsuckers are red.
