1) id say torch, looking at the polyps; I think yours has a barnacle in it. Does it have a fan come out every couple of seconds? This will prevent the torch from opening. It's a semicommon hitchhiker with this coral (from the wild)
2)Duncan - lps low/med light; low med flow
3)Duncan - lps low/med light; low med flow
4)zoas - low/med light; low med flow
5)zoas - low/med light; low med flow
6)clove polyps - low/med light; low med flow
7)??, but looks like an lps; maybe a pagoda cup; have a better picture?
8)welsophyllia - lps low light; low med flow

What do you mean by a "fan"? it stays like this all the time the mouth or center part has the bubble like thing thats it.

google torch coral barnacle; if that's not an issue with your coral, just move it to a medium light, medium flow area to see if it opens (give it some time)
