Coral Identification

[rridle]

Apologies up front if I've posted this in the wrong forum. I was given a tank with these corals and not sure what they are. All seem to be encrusting. I'll describe them since the colors are off in the pictures. What are they?

1 - dark green with orange highlights (almost like orange dust)
2 - orange with yellow "eyes" that grow in a circular pattern
3 - dark green, with light green edge, intense orange eyes
4 - bright green with orange eyes, fast grower
5 - light blue with orange polyps, it covered back of tank before move.

1. Chalice
2. Leptoseris - might be a Jack-O-Lantern Lepto
3. Chalice
4. Chalice - might be a Mummy Eyes Chalice
5. Cyphastrea - might be a Meteor Shower Cyphastrea

3 could also be a echinata or favia as well, looking on my computer now... it's hard to say, a better picture would be nice. Maybe someone with better eyes can say. ;)

This should be better.

This should be better.

Indeed. I'm pretty sure it's a echinata, those can put out some nasty stinging tentacles (they can get like 7" long in some cases), so keep a close eye on that piece and what you put around it.
