Default Id please, corals and light fixture

I bought a complete setup. Not sure on some of the coral. Please also if you see some bad stuff let me know. I also have this extra metal halide light with blue lights on each side. What kind of fixture is this and how much is it worth?
I am interested in what the yellow pollen looking stuff is and also the green pancake thingy is.
Also note this tank was moved yesterday.

I'm far from an expert but this is what I see. You have mushrooms, pulsing xenia, candy canes, some palys. The light is a double metal halide HQI with T5's or possibly compact florescent. What its worth depends on what brand it is and what wattage the MH's are. They are probably 150 or 250 watts. The ballasts that should be with it probably has a sticker on it with all that information. I also see a Hagen master test kit in the background. Personally I would choose a better brand for testing as they aren't overly accurate IMO. API offers a pretty cheap test kit that is more accurate.

I've gone thru 3 Coralife Fixtures. The wires do not come out the side they come from the back, there does'nt look like theres any lunar light which usually come with all of them. The lens for the PC's usually go end to end. Theres no fans on the top. So I guess I dont have to say I disagree on what brand it is.

Default thanks for the ids

I had cleaned off alot of the rock, as there was pulsing Xenia everywhere!!! Then I started finding all the candy cane coral in the bottom of the tank.
What kind of fish is in the attached pic?

I can't find a tag on it. It has two fans out of the side opposite of the cords. It uses 30w blue t3's. The metal halides I am not sure. I tried to pull it apart, but it must be sticking with the salt buildup on it. I left it alone and will try to loosen it with vinegar or something. Don't want to break it.
