5 is some kind of maze coral..fava or something similar..I'm not 100% sure about that.

7 looks like some kind of clove polyps but I can't tell for sure from the pic.

8 looks like Monti Cap.

I`m thinking colt coral on the first one.
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Cauliflower Colt Coral

No. 2 trumpet as Allen said
Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Trumpet Coral

3 and 4 Star polyps
Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Starburst Polyp

Not quite sure on the last 4

Agree with Ziggy on all of them.

5 is probably some type of favia, but 6 is probably either a platygyra or possibly a ouphyllia or goniastrea.

7 do look like clove polyps, specifically Anthellia.
