anybody want to take a guess as to what species the brown coral in the center of the pic is? The best I can figure its a loripes.

I would say browned out purple bonzai.

Uhmm...loripes.

A bit small, but I agree with whisperer, A. loripes. A. granulosa would have longer axials, even at this size and both tend to have bare upper branch sides. Browning out is typical for these species when they get too much PO4 and, I think, too much light! Although not true deep water corals, they are found deeper in the lagoons and on reef fall-offs. Yours should colour-up pretty quick, though.
