I bought a mystery coral pack from SWF.com and have know idea what these corals are. I want to put them in them in the right place in my tank and need to learn about each one first

1. flowerpot. goniopora. Hard to keep alive in our closed systems.
2. a deflated tree coral. I'm not sure if the orange variety is a kenya or not. They are easy to grow to the point where they can be viewed by some as a week, but that orange coloration is much prettier than the average kenya.
3. a brain coral frag. There are two types, favites and favia. That is a favia. You can tell the difference due to the 'walls' of each head not sharing. Favites share a common wall.
4. Jasmine polyps. A simple clove polyp coral.
 
#2 is a carnation and is a non photosynthetic coral. Not easy to keep by any means.
