1: Chip them off the rock or just pull them apart cutting whole polyps off from the mat.
3:Zoanthids

5: On some it is not noticable, but the Yuma has different size bubbles while the FL has them more even. Also the mouth on the Yuma is usually more raised. As for fragging, FL is as easy asa mushroom, just cut a piece of the mouth with each frag, yuma will not frag easily and may day, better to let it grow out on its own. Florida on the left and Yuma on the right.

6: If the mushroom hasnot melted yet just give it time they take longer to heal if the frag you cut doesn't have a mouth on it.
7: Palythoas are somewhat related to Zoanthids, but the palys grow on a thick mat attached to each other. Also the palys can feed a lot easier as they can contract faster than zoanthids. I don't have any acans so , I am not gonna touch on what exactly they are. These are Palys:
