    The first one might be Stylophora pristillata. Hard to say the pic is saturated and it's too far away to say for sure.

    The second one has two in the pic, so for the one in the back i might guess Acropora millepora. The spathulata varient if it is.

    I can't tell for the second one in the pic, too small.

    Three is tough, maybe A. cerealis. Hard to say with the pic.

    As for #4 I agree it does look terrible. There is no way to ID it in that condition. Let it grow out and see what develops.

    For the fifth pic the one on the left might be Acropora abrotanoides, if it is they are very difficult to keep. The middle maybe A. pulchra.

    6 might be Acropora papillare? Also too small could be a few species.

    7 is too small to guess.

    8 looks damaged. A. subulata maybe.
