And thank you very much for any help
 
The top corals are a frag of zoas and an acropora. Zoas are fairly easy, medium light and flow should suffice although some zoas may prefer different conditions. Acropora are a tough one needing high light and flow. Good luck keeping it as acropora need perfect stability. The bottom one looks like a blastomussa perhaps.

What sort of care on the blastomussa. And what sort of size can it get
 
Little hard to say its startinh to puff up but . But doesnt look like acans that i have already .
 
your tank has a lot of algae on those rocks.
if i where you i test my nitrates and phosphates. do not test with an api test kit.
also do you have a cuc crew. get a few of each of these snails (trochus, cerith, Astraea Turbo Snail,)
but snails really dont like algae once it gets to long, so get yourself an emerald crab and scarlet reg leg hermit crab
get one of each for every 15 gallons on the snails and 1 for every 25 gallons on the crabs
 
The bottom pic looks like a Mycedium (ie Chalice), or maybe some sort of Faviid. It's hard to tell from the picture.

The Acropora is probably a valida. Tough coral as far as Acros go.

I'm thinking Acanthastrea echinata. I have one that looks similar to a chalice how it encrusts the rock but the little mouths sink in more than a chalice. Here's mine, the one on the left.

Not that I know of. They seem to be pretty hardy. Mine's perfectly happy on the sand bed with the occasional broadcasting of coral food (Roids or Frenzy, generally). I didn't even acclimate it (except for temperature), just threw it on a frag rack due to lack of sand bed space at the time and saw feeders within a day or two. It's on the sand bed now, darn near center of the tank, and happy as a clam (which ironically, I do not have).
