    Hard to tell from that picture but it looks like a squamosa. It likes to be on the sand.

    I see more picture now. :p

    The second clam is a maxima. It likes to be on the rocks & should be higher up in the tank, as it needs more light.

    The first two corals look like montis, but it's hard to tell. Are they hard/encrusting corals?

    I would call the one with the small eyes either a faviid, or a mussid.

    The 2 hard corals are hard and encrusting, the brown has little polyps sprouting, the maxima is on my sand in a 26 inch tank ynder 300watt 20k halides, is this enough?

    Tank is 26" deep? Umm maybe move it to the rocks at the bottom. Maximas like to be on rocks.

    The two encrusting corals are montiporas....I think monti capricornis.
