In your video the first ones are trumpets. The next one is a Pavona coral also known as lettuce or potato chip coral (thi has particularly long sweeper tentacles careful when placing other corals around this). That is a Maxima you are correct. They usually dont like being on the sand the best way to make them happy is to bury a flat piece of live rock in the sand so its just below the surface of the sand and put the clam on that. After a while the clam will attach itself to the rock. The "pipe organ coral" looks to me like ti may be galaxea coral but I cant say for sure unless I see it with the polyps retracted. The yellow anemone is infact an anemone all mushroom corals are. The ones you have are known as rhoactids. The "frogspawn" you showed may either be hammer coral or a torch coral. Frogspawn will have multiple nodes on each tentacle it looked to me like there were only nodes on the tips.

Your tank is looking great Scott! Keep up the good work.
