Welcome to the hobby and reef2reef. You picked an awesome forum to join. Tons of super experienced reefers on here and always willing to help.

Looks like you got em all for the most part. Your Rasta leather is also known as sinularia. And the umbrella leathers are also referred to as toadstool. Your colt coral is also known as a finger leather. The green mushrooms are rhodactis. And your Kenya tree looks more like anthelia to me. Hard to tell in the pics but try searching anthelia and see if that doesn’t look more like what you have than a Kenya tree. As far as the zoas go, the pics are too blurry to say for certain but the colony that has an orange center with green skirt looks like maybe original dragon eyes or possibly eagle eyes if center is more red with a blue mouth. As for the colony with an orange skirt and bright center, those look like maybe fire and ice. But like I said I’d need close up pics to tell you for certain what the names are. There are people on here with a better eye than me though so maybe someone else can confirm my assessment or give a better ID for you. Best of luck
