I'm sure someone will come in and correct me, but here's a stab:

1 - Millepora
2 - Valida
3 - hyacinthus
4 - ?
5 - Another hyacinthus?
 
Thanks for the help!
I am not sure about the first one, in the pic it does look like millipora, but the polyps seem to be much less hairy.
 
Common scientific names for the above corals :)

1 - millepora
2 - valida/secale?
3 - hyacinthus
4 - sarmentosa
5 - tenuis
 
Jeremy,

I agree with some of the prior ID's but not all, (not that my guesses are any better :) ).

#1 A. cytherea as the branches seem to be much thinner than A. millepora.

#2 A. valida

#3 A. hyacinthus

#4 and 5 seem to be the same species. The branches and the corallites seems to be thicker and larger than that off A. hyacinthus so I believe that is might be A. bifuricata. But my ID's could easily be wrong as this piece is still very small and hasn't shown its true character yet.

Let me know what you think and have a great weekend,

Chris @ RM
