#6 is rough to ID.. I looks like a soft coral to me.

#6 looks like a tabling acro that was mounted weird. Nice and fuzzy, tho.

Good corals if you've got the tank to support them. Happy Reefing!

Tank will be fine, I just need to figure out which ones like high/low lighting and flow. And which ones I should keep away from everything else.
