First looks like an unhappy/dying Galaxea maybe. Maybe something else - how big are the polyps?
Second middle is likely a trumpet/candy cane
Third looks like a Micromussa
Fourth is an unhappy chalice most likely
Fifth could be any number of things (both of them)
Sixth is likely a Pavona/Lepto
Last is a mushroom or another Micromussa maybe. Can't really tell from the photo

Id have to check when i get home but these pics were 5 min after i acclimated them and placed them in the tank. They were in bags for about 8-10 hrs if that makes any difference. Thank you for naming some of these new to sps and lps

Looks like a Micromussa first pic, second is maybe an Acan Echinata or two and maybe a Scroll Coral (?), third is maybe a Bowerbanki and some Zoas, fourth looks like another maybe Bowerbanki and some Zoas, a Palythoa (maybe?), and a Maze or Brain of some variety, and fifth is Lordhowensis, Zoas, possible Pavona, and another maybe Scroll Coral plus a Galaxea or maybe Dendro or something else entirely....
