So I am asking a lot here but hopefully the collective mind can help me out. I know names of a lot of my corals but many I do not know. I won them at raffles and just made sure I knew how to care for them. I will post pictures in order. Each picture will have from 1-3 corals. Thanks so much guys

Very Nice
Advise if you want it is take the GSP in Photo 7 and place them someplace where they don't touch any other piece of rock in the tank.
These things can spread rather rapidly
Read the aggressiveness part.

So make sure it's on like an island? All the corals are still on frags and easily moveable
 
Pic 1 are radio active dragon eyes and the red are eagle eyes. 2 is a acan 3 not sure 4 eagle eyes 5 acro of some sort 6 candy cane and I think favia. 7 gsp 8 blue tubbs in the back front not sure 9 gorgonian. 10 and 12 lobos 11 is a plate monti not sure what's on top 13 en crusting monties I believe
 
Look at 4 Phil I think those are blue Tubbs in back and 8 in back is more purple in person.

Hadn't heard of Lobos, thought those were some sort of brain. Good call. And picture 11 up top is shaped like a brain.

I'm sure you'll be over soon and can help in person
 
They are a brain I believe it's a type of brain. I may be wrong but I think I'm right
 
Cactus pavona in pic 1.

Neon candy cane & a chalice in pic 6.

Pic 9 looks like maybe gorgonian.

Thank you! Yeah number six is very flat. And it had small clear feeder tentacles that come out of it. It's only a couple millimeters thick
 
8 looks way more purple in person. I have some blue Tubbs and they don't look like that. In the pic they look exactly like Tubbs but they're dark purple. The ones in front are purple center, green disc middle and purple on outside. I'll post a better pic of the un identified ones
 
I believe the brain(s) in question are trachy's. They are a type of open brain. Picture 11 also have a maze brain coral as well.
 
10 is larger than than the rest. Maybe 4 inches across. To me it seems like it changes its shape although it feels like it's made of a hard base. What about the green one in 12? It is very similar except a circular shape.

Also the large one in 10 had a mouth that is like a slit going the whole length(could be 2 mouths as I'm not sure I've seen the middle part of the mouth open) however the green one in 12 had a small mouth that's circular. I can post more pictures to help.

What is the bottom right of 6?
Back of picture 6?
Middle of picture 2?
Front center of picture 3?
Right of picture 12?

So far we've got most of them.
Thanks so much, I want to do detailed research on the best care. You guys are awesome! And good at what you do!
 
Here are updated pictures of the identified
