I received a few new corals yesterday but I have no clue what they are (well most). I ordered them as a pack online and I hoped they'd be labeled when they came, but they weren't. I also received a "freebie" (picture 3) that also wasn't labeled. I think its a trumpet coral but it's tiny compared to my other tumpets). It's no big deal if I can't figure them out, but it's bugging me. Could use some help. Sorry if the pictures are bad.

1,2,7,8,9 look like favia "favites"
3 blastomussa, 4,6 playtgyra
5 ?

Thank you. I figured for most of these. I believe 5 might be a micromusa.... maybe? The only issue with number 1 is the polyps are individual which makes me think acan? Maybe you know better than me though? This is my first time having any corals like these.
