Earlier, I posted pictures that may have been difficult to provide the identification I needed. I circled the pieces in question. Do these particular pieces have trade names. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

Hard to tell much from these photos. Are you looking for general IDs (i.e. zoanthid, blastomussa, favites, etc), or for specifically trade names?

Both if possible. If it doesn’t have a trade name, I can make one up.
 
Better photos are still needed for both of those things. Closer up, reasonably focused, maybe a little less blue.

And, honestly, making up trade names may not be the best move, unless you have some way for everyone who might have a frag of this particular coral to know that name. Otherwise we end up with a bunch of names for basically the same thing.
 
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 13: Dipsastraea
3: Merulinidae sp, not sure the species
5: Echinophyllia
6: not sure
9: either Platygyra or Paragoniastrea australensis
10: Favites pentagona
11: Chalice, not sure the genus, or even the family
12: Mycedium

Thank you! This was exactly what I hoped someone would do! This helps me tremendously!

Most of those look like "common" pieces and each vendor usually makes up their own name for most of them if they name them.
