Well I hate to disagree with everyone but the skeleton doesn't look fine to me and based on your placement it is a good possibility it is being stung by your torch coral. I would move it away from anything that can sting it. The polyps up top look ok and like some have already stated it can take a little while for it to open up. The first picture you posted looked like a healthy coral however the second one with the skeleton showing doesn't look healthy to me.
I had a very nice duncan that was growing rapidly until my hydnophora stung it up so bad it killed it. Now I am looking for another one and the hydnophora is going to the LFS. It won't be bothering anything else in my tank ever again. Good luck and hopefully it will pull through. Bill

Never throw away the skeleton
 They grow back often even when you think for sure they are dead hydnophora are nasty little stinging creatures though!

I tend to agree abit with J4life here. I have lost a dendro and a duncan to a frogspawn. On two totally different sides of the tank but the frogspawn would release little floating blobs of itself like underwater mines and both times these corals caught them thinking they were food and were stung beyond repair.
KEEP the skeleton though you may have babies coming back out of it after a few months... just keep it out of reach of anything that can sting and you should be ok

If something grows back out of my duncan skeleton it would be close to a miracle. The hydno stung it so bad that all that is left now is a pure bleached white skeleton. I am betting the 3 little buds of fire & ice zoa's that attached to base of the frag plug the duncan was mounted on will spread all over that thing before any chance of a new polyp emerges but it would be awesome if one did. I really miss my duncan.
 Thanks
