BrianPlankis, how many of those corals that are in your pictures are hitchhikers?

Basically none of them, except the last picture. The last picture shows a cup coral (left), an unknown stony coral and the branching coral above it is called a tube coral.
Those are the three most common corals on the rock, but Richard typically also throws in gorgonians as a freebie.
Here is a picture of a Manicina areolata:
Unfortunately the red tide killed off all of them from Richard's rock, so it will be a few years (or longer) before they return. Still my favorite coral in the tank.
