Hi everyone! I just ordered the 8 mystery corals from fragbox and I’m looking for help identifying what is what so I can place everything correctly. Thanks!

Looks like 2 of them are Hollywood stunners. Keep those away from everything else they can kill other coral very quickly
 
Front to back, left to right:

Hollywood stunner chalice
Acan
Duncan
Chalice maybe?
Red Montipora capricornis

Other 2 look to be a closed up zoa or paly, the other looks to be clove polyps, or xenia.

Top row. Blasto merletti and chalice
Middle row:. Acan(ie micro lord) and Duncan
Bottom row:. Chalice(Hollywood stunner) and orange pavona

Zoa/paly and Kenya tree
 
Best thing to do would be go back to the vendor and have them ID them for you, if they don't want to or refuse to, we'll help our best here. But it should be easier for them to ID than R2R from photos. Not sure their policy, maybe they are mystery packs because they don't know.
 
[back to front, left to right]

Blastomussa merletti
Acan
Hollywood stunner

Chalice?
Duncan
Leptoseris or Leptastrea ?

Zoa
Kenya tree
 
I would need better photos to get an accurate ID but here are my guesses
left to right, top to bottom:
1. cf duncanopsammia axifuga
2. some sort of lobophylliid chalice maybe?
3. micromussa sp.
4. IDK
5. some sort of chalice; maybe echinopora
6. lobophylliid chalice maybe?
 
Thank you everyone! I reached out to fragbox so hopefully I'll hear from them soon but you all provided such great ID's in the meantime that i think ive got them down! :)
