Try a different color to label them, like Brite yellow or orange.
I think 5 is right and 4.
1 looks like coraline algae.
Don't know about the others, needed a better pic.
 
1 looks like closed zoa polyps to me.

2 I was thinking blasto at first, but after zooming in it looks like there are some receded tentacles of some sort so not sure.

3 kind of looks dead to me

Need better pics.
 
I appreciate the assistance, so far, lighting always poor, so I took a few more close-ups, evidently my camera finds my own hand of more interest than the frags themselves

Your hand pics are beautiful :) :)

Why is your lighting poor? Looks like alot of frags (from your pictures) which will require good lighting to grow

Try taking pictures of corals under the light you have/ not so close to front glass (where your hand shadows)
So hold frag under light further back/ below light :)

In these I see a trumpet/candy cane and at least one Florida ricordea mushroom
 
gsp green star polyp for this I guess, how do you identify others?

Just to clarify my tank lighting is fine, my room lighting sucks
 
Ok, so again try holding frag under your lights :) :) in white lights , avoid blue pics
I think others have identified from your pictures:) so we are close helping your identification of corals I assume :) :)
