    My guesses are as followed and good luck with the tank. You have some nice corals.
    1. some type of sps
    2. frog spawn maybe octo?
    3. not sure
    4. montipora
    5. some type of red algae
    6. a clam

    1. Appears to be a Montioora digitata
    2. frogspawn - not sure eon exact kind unless I could see it open - but care for it is the same regardless.
    3. Montipora undata, or something very similar.
    4. Red bubble algae - you will want to get rid of this.
    5. I want to say derasa clam.
