all high flow, low nutrient, high light, except the brain, which will like to be near the sandbed, and will recover, given the right environment: the brain is lps; all others are sps. They really don't share the same requirements, but brains are tough, and will survive given half a chance.

1. Hydnophora- Pretty easy but definately a killer. Keep at lest 6" away from any others you plan to keep.

2,3,4,5,7. As Sk8r said SPS see requirements above.

6. Either Montipora confusa or Montipora Spongodes. Never had either but hear they are pretty hardy almost like digitata.
