I have a couple small corals in my tank, and wanted to get some help properly identifying them. I did my best with the photos, let me know if you need closer/clearer pics. Thank you!1

LOL.. yeah I did. But my purchases are usually sort of impulse. I point at the glass and say, "I want THAT one". #1, #4, #5 and #6 however were already with the tank when I bought it (established).

1st one might be a Elegance Coral? But I am new to sw so I'm just going by the similarity to the ones at my lfs

5 looks like some kind of Zoa or Paly, 6 may be a candycane? Not being open, it's tough to tell. Agree w/ meowzer on the other id's.

I agree with most on the rest, but #1 is most certinly not a toadstool
My vote is a Wellsophyllia , pardon if I misspelled. Commonly called an "Brain coral"
"Open Brain Coral" to be specific. The small tenticles are normally hidden unless feeding response is triggered.
