Default What are these corals?

Hey guys. I have had most of these corals for one month, and I need help identifing some of them. I have a good idea of what some of them are but I just wanted a second opinion. I'm asking because I am so new at this that I don't know much. I have looked at coral books but it can be overwealhming because of all you have to know. My past experience to guide me is my freshwater aquarium (learned chem. etc.) and saltwater for dummies and now this great site. Please let me know what you think and any other suggestions. Thanks!
