The 1st one is a pest. Been trying to eradicate it for years now. But it keeps coming back. It has Nice water movement. But my advise is dont put it in your tank. The orange oneS need to be fed directly. There you tube vids with halved coca cola bottels . Strawberry Coral.

1- Pipe organ. Looks like star polyps when the polyps are open but it is not a pest and will not take over your take quickly like star polyps.
2 - Hard to say. Probably a type of brain coral such as Diploastrea or Versiopora.
3 - Carnation coral - most likely will not survive, it requires regular feeding since it is a filter feeder. Likes low light.
4 - Tube coral - Tubastrea - another filter feeder that will need to be fed regularly if it is to survive.
5 - Looks like a cabbage leather. Fairly easy to keep coral.

Yep! 4 is a sun coral- regular feeding for that sucker! I love mine.

Have 2 Sun Corals ... Black and Pink.
The Black One I have successfully trained to come out at feeding time.
The Pink One has proven to be more challenging

#2 looks more like cyphastrea to me.
I used to have a tube coral-orange and yellow sun coral. so pretty but it got old REAL fast having to attempt to feed it. spent 4 months trying to train it to eat....never worked out.
I agree, you dont want #1 in your tank. its a weed type nuisance.

Soooo interesting! My LFS said their black sun corals are very temperamental and their pinks are a dream. I have a colony of their pinks and find that it's a very lovely and easy coral!
