Identify some Corals?

[MrOutCastX]

Hey all.
I'm pretty new to the whole reef scene and just got a some frags and colonies from my LFS.
The guys working there have been great in helping me out with everything from rocks to lights. My issue though is, I can't for the life of me remember the names of these guys.
I'm looking for their names and best places to set up them in my tank.
Thanks

2.Echinophyllia
3. Zoanthus pacificus or sansibaricus
4. hard to tell my guess is Tubinaria?
5. Caulastrea curvata
6. Briareium sp.
7. blastomussa wellsi
8. same as #5

I do have Zoas, just no pictures of them on this post because I already know what they are. What do you mean about their Palytoxin?

The risk getting poisoned by palytoxin is blown way out of proportion in the hobby.
By all means be careful, but I just think it hilarious that people almost think that you need to be wearing a chem suit just to handle any type of zoa these days.


Plus, OP's are Zoanthus and not Palythoa /protopaylthoa so probably don't have high concentrations if any of palytoxin.
