Not sure about the orange coral. It is some type of gorgonain.
Not sure I can call anything "normal" xenia since there are so many types. I think I am up to 4 varities in my tanks and I have seen many more.

Yeah, It's looking great! I remember earlier in the post you said that you weren't "dosing" and trying to keep everything as natural as possible...

What kind of maintence routine are you running for the system?

reef crystals salt... and a water change every week... im also runnin a skimmer, a aqua clear 30... and i bout a gutted a misc filter and put in these nice filter pads from the lfs... i recently got rid of all my cyano wit my algae scrubber i made from plans off of the thread on here... only problem is that i didnt realize the scrubber was so close to the window that the water was chilling and being put all over my zoas... so i am havin problems wit em right now. All the zoas have been happy now since i turned it off except my pinks... I have also been using Rods Coral Food... Everything loves it

here are my Red People Eaters along with my Mohawks... if u look close on the Mohawks they are Pink rimmed wit a purple center thats speckled with pink spots... pretty cool

That galaxia looks to me like hammer coral. This is a pic of galaxia, and it wouldn't be good to have in a 20long unless it's the only coral in there. It's very aggressive and has very long sweeper tenticles. Hammer coral are fine, they can be aggressive, but not as bad as galaxia !

Galaxia

I believe the "blue xenia" you have might be anthelia. Here's a pic of some that I have in my 50
