    I'll take a poke at it....

    Seriatopora sp.
    Montipora Foliosa
    Acropora sp. (hard to tell which kind from the pic)
    Porites cylindrica
    Montipora Floweri,Confusa or possibly Montipora Crassi-tuberculata (definetly one of the 3, hard to tell in the pic)
    Seriatopora sp.
    Porites cylindrica (if its the pink thing below the clown)
    Acropora Bushyensis
    (I expect everybody to look these up and verify them, haha)

    Montipora's are the hardest to ID simply because there are so many of them and most are real similar. Anything plating ends up being called Monti Cap when 9 times out of 10 its not. Montipora Capricornis looks like a dinner plate, almost flat. If it has bumps to it or twirls or stalks or alot of encrusting, it is not. I really need to write an article about them on here. Its been ages since I wrote an article here.
