Have 2 of each of these growing on live rock, are they good or should we be afraid?

The right hand side looks like a tiny sarcophyton. (leather mushroom) and the left appears to be a brown polyp... possibly a majanoe anemone (bad). Some might say its an aiptasia (bad) but the polyps look too rounded for that.
 
Thanks, I have been keeping an eye on the browner one's of the 2 thinking they were majano's they do tend to roam around the tank, the whiter ones dont seem to move anywhere and open and close with the light.
 
If its mobile then its almost certainly an anemone of some description. I would be inclined ot watch and see what it grows into before wiping it out. I had a similar anemone appear on my liverock and i was told it was a majano and should kill it.. i wasnt convinced and held off being executioner... it turned out to be a baby bubble tip anemone and now resides happily in Aquascapers tank (another member on here)
