    OK you got a clam, a bubble, a short tentacle plate, ricordia mushrooms, some lobos (I think, they could be a brain or a moon coral), the next is a colt or a kenya tree...something of that sort, I have no idea what 7 is (my best guess is a brown star polyps or a torch...possibly galaxia), the the last..........8.....that's a fox coral.

    I forgot to add 1 more. Its the pink little plants that look like its constantly grabbing . I have 55x4 compact lighting and a 55 gallon tank with 50lbs of live rock, 70lbs of live sand.

    They had tons of tons of different and cooler corals other than i don't have room for bigger ones and i choose some nice colored ones.

    well you sound pretty new to the game, and some of those corals there are not even corals, and soem aren't the easiest to look after.

    For 1 dont place that plate coral on the rock you will damage the flesh on the edges.
    You have an anemone in there, they are amongst the hardest things to keep in our aquaria, and even the experts have a low life expectency.
    And they sting everything to death.

    You also have galaxia in there (7) a medium flow as stated, but give it pleanty of space as they have long tentacles for stinging things with.

    Clams (1) Again arent the easiest things to keep.

    Don't get me wrong they are all cool and you have an absolute bargain there, but chances are except for the shrooms leathers and xenia, you are going to kill everything.
