Here's my guesses...
#1 looks like a pocillopora to me.
#2 is to hard to tell but look up a birdnest coral and see if thwat's similiar.
#3 Is that hard or soft? If it's hard I'm gonna go with a montipora digitata as Wax said...
#4 I'm going with a stag or "acropora nobilis".
#5 colt or capnella, unless you are asking about the white one in the dead center. Then that's maybe a bleached out poci... Does it look like the first one only white?
#6 I gotta go with Wax's guess too, a leather.

Thanks for the ID's I went through some sites and found most of them. The pocilapora had a rough spot yesterday, I just took it out of the tank and fragged off some of the tips. I noticed that it was losing color and the skin began to dissolve. After looking at a lot of threads the advice I finally took was to frag it above the bleached area. It literally fell of over a period of 12 hours. Bummer, I do know that with the change in Ohio temperature the last few weeks, it has been hard to maintain a perfect temp in the tank. I have two heaters one in the fuge and one in the tank but still effected by a crappy rental unit with bad insulation. So far this is the only issue I can think might effect the coral. I am just hoping that it wasnt a infection that might spread to the other corals in the tank. Good FIshing
