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?

#5 - This one lost its color and seems bleached. A new head has not formed in 3 years.

#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.

#10 - same color as when I bought it. Looks bleached? Started with 2 heads now almost 6.

I'm by no means an expert but

1 - common green palythoa
2 - ???
3 - some kind of blastomussa
4 - ???
5 - frogspawn
6 - blastomussa merletti? i'm not super confident on this one
7 - ???
8 - meteor shower cyphastrea (i think)
9 - some type of acropora
10 - candy cane (caulastrea sp.)
11 - red montipora cap
 
1-palythoa
2-cabbage coral, softie
3-blastomussa merletti
4-chalice
5-branching hammer
6-goniastrea
7-pavona
8-cyphastrea
9-possibly millepora
10-candy cane, calaustrea
11-montipora
 
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.
