I wanted to say a mushroom Til I saw feeder tentacles. Could be any number of Lps until it either grows more or a better picture.

The first few pics make me think it is a baby Trumpet coral, or a type of mushroom anemone.
The last pic looks like there is a small Aptasia growing behind it...?
Best of luck with your tank!

It isn't aiptasia behind it the last picture is its sweeper/feeder tentacles and it has a skeleton and looks just like a button. I'm going to lfs and frag it off and when it gets bigger probably be easier to i.d right it the size of my thumbnail. It looks just like this but it's small ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1435762073.241038.jpg

Looks like you have a birds nest for sure and an encrusting montipora. Then some other SPS like a small acro, stylo, or any number of stony corals.

Possibly a green scolymia???? Was it expensive? It may also be a small carpet anemone...

The super wavy one I would say is a euphyllia for sure. Probably a torch.

That really big stony coral may be a giant favite or favia. More pics of individual corals would help. If you number them we can tell you specifically which one we are talking bout also.
