Trying to learn....

[CK Amstutz]

I am trying to learn what most of these corals are and how to properly care for them. Can you help with id? The first photo, yellow coral in the middle sometimes has tiny nubs sticking out. I have moved it and it just doesn’t seem to be happy. Second photo I need id on the green and the big mushrooms in back. Are the third and fourth photos mushrooms also? The fifth I have no idea. Just showed up in tank. Last photo is a mushroom? I am one of those who just bought when I could afford it, now trying to rectify my behavior. Thanks.
