If you're happy with what you got for your money, you got a deal 
But seriously , even if shipping is $35 you're under $20 bucks a coral, each with multiple eyes/polyps/heads. That's great in my opinion.
All those pieces will thrive in moderate flow and light. Zoanthids and chalices near the sand with euphyllia mid way up a "well lit" tank. Give the chalices and euphyllia space as they can display sweepers that will sting nearby coral. I choose to place zoanthids on an island so they can be easily controlled.
With lps and soft corals you don't want a sterile tank. By that I mean you'll want detectable phosphates and nitrates. Good numbers to shoot for are:
Alk 9
Cal 390-500
Magnesium 1350-1500
Phosphate .02-.08
Nitrate 5-10
Salinity 1.025
Temperature 78-80F
Congrats on the pickups!
