First pic is a crocea. Maximas have an elogated shell to one side of the bissle and scutes that make the shell look more rough...
The second is a scolymia.
The third pic is a sun coral.
Fouth pic is a plating montipora...commonly all plating montis like that are referred to as montipora capricornus but impossible to say the exact species without looking under a microscope.
The last one appears to be a rhodactis mushroom. someone better at mushroom IDs correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks guy right on point, I appreciate it. I have a question about the sun polyp. I;ve only been having this sun polyp for a week and I have yet to see the polyps come out, did I but a bad sun polyp or am I doing something wrong. I have placed it on the substrate with low water movement. My Water parameters are as follows:

Temp 76 to 78
Calcium - 420 - 460
Alk - 8.4. 11.2
mag - 1200
Ph - 8.4

 

I've never had sun polyps so I can't speak from experience but I've read that they thrive in areas that are less lit than others. Does your receive direct light? Perhaps its too bright for it.

Also, as it's non-photosynthetic, have you been feeding it?

 

My sun coral didn't come out for 2 weeks. You have to spot feed him, every head, even if he isn't out. Just small amounts and he will come out. They like to be where it is darker and not a lot of light like under a ledge. Be patient and as long as he is staying that color in you pic you are ok.

 

I have been trying to feed it mysid shrimp, but no polyps come out. I have been having the sun polyps on the substrate for 2 days already and nothin, but it is under the HQ's. I will try and move it to a less lit area of the tank and see what happens.

Hey Cannedmulder do you have a pic of your sun polyps, attach if u can please.

 

how did you get those without knowing what they are????????

 

As mentioned below, they do not feed themselves through photosynthetis(sp), you have to direct feed them. To encourage the polps to come out, try target feeding them some brine shrimp, blood worms, mysis shrimp or some type of liquid food. When I feed my fish, they can "smell" the food and they open up in a flash. Luna
