I have a 75 gallon mixed reef tank and as much as I try to remember the many corals I have in my tank, I just can’t remember them all so when it comes to researching, I get lost.

I’ll post pics of my full tank and the. Individual pics of my coral and their subsequent placement. All help is GREATLY appreciated

Blue guy by the snail looks to be a chalice that prefer moderate flow. Moderate light.

You've got a group of acan lords on the sand bed.

Pink/orange guy up top that is plating out is a montipora

Green and blue homie on the purple rock. Looks to be a ricordia mushroom.

1 is probably dipsastraea, commonly misidentified as favia
2 and 3 are colonial cycloseris, commonly misidentified as lithophyllon
4 is micromussa lordhowensis, commonly misidentified as acanthastrea
I cannot tell what 5 is
6 is ricordea
top 2 corals on 7 are montipora, I cannot tell what the bottom coral is

Thank you so much. Whenever I’m at the LFS I try to pick their brains as much as I can but they’re learning as much as myself. The first one (green and red) was labeled as favia/favite.
2 was sold as lepto
3 they didn’t know
4 we’re all just acans
5 was sold as a chalice

so thank you for helping out. Just trying to figure out placing and flow/lighting. I absolutely love the ricordia
