Hey Jordan, Welcome to the forum!!!

Here is what I would call the corals listed. 

2757 - Spaghetti leather
2759 - Palythoa of some kind. There are many names for these types of palys. I call them Texas Trash Palys
2760 - Pink Encrusting Gorgonian
2772 - Defiantly Zoanthids - This site has a great Zoanthid ID section. http://coralpedia.com/ 
2773 - Discosoma Mushroom
2776 - hard to tell by the pic. Could be hydroids
2779 - again some sort of Palythoa - Sand polyps is just another nick name for these types of palys.

I hope this helps.

It's defiantly hard to tell 100% with out seeing a larger specimen. The only reason I say Spaghetti Coral is because of the lack of branching. Long branches without many little branches stemming outward.
