I have gathered a few corals and I’m not sure what they are anyone willing to take a stab at it? All photos taken with iPhone X

First is my full tank shot. Photo taken with a clip on filter at night. Can you spot all the corals?

#9 -this guy is crusting over the rock nicely. He made a couple extensions early on but has since only been crusting outward. Polyp extension not really showing in photo.

Thanks guys. I always thought #6 was a Favia because a couple people told me that. Anyone think I should move the placement around?

Agree with all except 6 and 9. 6 looks like some other kind of “closed brain” LPS to me but not sure exactly what. Shape/PE on 9 does not resemble any millepora I’ve seen but it is some species of acro.
