    First one is an Acan Lord. Must be fed little bits of meaty treats.

    The center two are types of Palys. Good light will do them well.

    The last has me stumped. I am pretty sure it is a LPS, but I'm really not sure.

    dittto, the last looks like a duncan, but there is another coral, looks the same- cant remember the name.......

    many types of palys... esp the darker colored one's prefer attiincs.

    Yup, it is definitely some Paly polyps. It is amazing how many different colors and designs are out there.
