Ok, some of these I know what they are, some I don't (I always kept lps/softies/fish). but they are all fun to look at:

Hmm...the first one looks kinda like Hydnaphora maybe..Nice stuff and BEAutiful monti!!
 
TYVM Rev! You think the green one is Hydnaphora then? Cool! I've been sorta eyeing it. It was almost dead when I got it and the other no clues, came with the tank after the other reefer crashed it :( I felt sooo bad for him...
:D

Forgot these 3:

The little brown guy next to the big staghorn:

Better shot of the 3 pronged guy:

And the thing above the three pronged guy:

the first "no clue" one is a pocillopora edouxi (sp?), the first one on the second post is a pocillopora Iforgetthename, both are pretty hardy and easy to care for if they settle in ok, but I usually have issues getting them to settle in...

first one's definitely a hydnophora, watch out for those, they can get mean!
 
Having trouble getting the other two pics in the second post to show up, one min..

And the last one, I call him Boogerman:

Haha, found this- every body needs a little nudi time (Failure To Launch):

I just like the detail on this one:

The first pic looks like hydnophora to me also. The second 'brain' is a trachyphyllia/wellsophyllia, and 'boogerman' looks like merulina.
 
#1 no clue is Hydnophora, #2 no clue is Pocillopora, the first staghorn is likely Acropora microphthalma (Scripps Green Tip Acro), the little brown guy is likely Psammacora sp., the three pronged guy is another staghorn (maybe A. formosa?), and the Boogerman is likely a different species of Psammacora. I have the same two that I think are Psammacora. They are both very fuzzy :) . My brown one looks very much like yours, but my neon green ones are all much smaller.
