oo, actualy, you didnt. i accidentaly asked about the one on the top right, when i meant the one on the top left
sorry about that

the orange things you call firecracker coral, look like sun polps also called tubestrea. in the same family as Dendrophyllia. The big ball in the middle almost looks to me like a dying galaxy coral, under that is what looks like a little goniopora. not sure what the white/green thing is but it almost looks like a closed elegance, but dont quote me. if i am right about the corals you have, you have just about the hardest corals to take care of. you should feed every polp on the tubestrea at least twice a week, at least.
