Hi All,

I've only been reefing a year and am still learning a lot about the hobby. One of the things I have the most difficulty with is Identifying corals. Some of the simpler corals I can identify, however I definitely could use some help here. Over the last year I have acquired various Softies, LPS, and SPS corals. By the time I get them home from the LFS... I've typically forgotten the names of them.

Could you guys help me identify these 6 corals?

Edit: 5 is a favia, I was thinking of a goniastrea that has the same color. I really can't tell with the image of 6 and 2.
