Happy New years!!

I need some help identifying some corals. I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

1) skittle something?

2) torch?

3) rhodact?

4)??

5) Zoa?

6) polyps?

7) ???

8) two on this one, the grass in front and the one in the back- palm tree?

9)candy cane?

thank you all for your time and again happy new year

1) Acan echinada

2) Could be a torch, tough to tell from the pic.

3) Mushroom

4) Possibly closed up zoas, not sure.

5) Zoanthid

6) Possibly clove polyps

7) To blurry to tell, but possibly another morph of clove polyps

8) Front is GSP or green star polyps, Back Again looks like clove polyps to me

9) Yes candy cane

I could identify them better with some better pictures.

lol did you inherit a tank? that all looks like you have an established setup for someone who doesnt no what theve got? tbh im not great with the names myself so ill let a pro give you the answers ; ) word of advice tho the "grass" is green star polyp or gsp for short and it needs to be kept on its island! if the conditions are right you can literaly watch as it grows.
Happy new year to you also

Fairly super new to the saltwater world.
When you say kept on its island Do you place him on a live rock?

Keep it on a rock but keep it on its own if it's to close to other rocks it can spread quickly and take over the tank.

1. Acanthastrea
2. Sarcophyton
3. It's definitely some sort of Mushroom. I'm not sure which type though.
4. Zoanthids
5. Zoanthids
6. Clavularia
7. Sympodium
8. Briareium in the front, Clavularia in the back.
9. Caulastrea

The others look listed correctly, but I'm thinking 2 is a toadstool
