Default 60 Gallon - New To Reefs

Hey everyone,

My names Mike, I'm new to this forum. I was told by members on BCAquaria that this was a great resource for Saltwater information so here I am!

Im a life long fresh water keeper, and planted enthusiast, but have taken the plunge so to speak in salt water. I've got a standard 20 gallon tank and with the help of some friends picked up all that I believe I need to start a successful reef.
My equipment so far is an aQ.Led 108w Light fixture, Remora Nano Skimmer, Hydor Powerheads.
I've got a deep sand bed as well as 22 lbs of live rock.

After lots of reading, I got the tank setup and cycled - the cycle only took about a week because the live rock was already established and housed a good colony of bacteria. When the Nitrites and Ammonia got to 0 I went out to J&L and picked up the starting pieces, 5 Common Hermit crabs, 2 Clowns (oso something) and a couple pieces of soft coral. Very new to these so I'm not sure on the names. Can someone Id these coral for me, I believe they are both very common so it shouldn't be hard for you guys
