this looks to me like a Rose anemone...Entacmaea quadricolor. It is a variety of BTA and requires similar treatment. Also is photosynthetic but would need supplimental feeds of chopped fish :good:

These mushroomsappear to be 2 different types. Both Corallimorphs. The smooth ones are Discoma sp. and the knobbly ones, Rhodactis sp.

Looks like some sort of Xenia
 
Looks more like an anemone to me. And the last picture, prolly a star polyp ;)
 
I was thinking star polyp but they tend to have purple bases which this doesn't seem to have and also I have a Xenia which looks just like that last pic (only lots bigger)
 
Could be, its also strange to see two single-polyp stalks of xenia that close together ;)
 
Think the wannabe mushy is a majano sp Aneno-no-no-no-me hate that word, not sure bout the other, cld be either.
 
95% sure that the first is a majano...

If it is then take this advice...

Take a ship and nuke it from orbit... its the only way to be sure :angry:

Seriously though, if its a majano you need it out ASAP before it wipes out every coral you have i nyour system. I have just stripped my 220 gallons sytem down and killed off my entire stock of liverock due to these critters.

the little guy in the first pic moved on its own it is not closer to the mushrooms and i have found one more but it has yet to move if you look close at pic #2 you can see one between the to peeks of the rock also

Ok now im 99% sure its a majano. i only need to be 98% sure to act on it and kill it so i urge you to do the same. if it maoves that fast and its left one behind then imsure you have a majano
 
the last thing is ,a starburst polyp. mine are the same color (white bases) when they are new or young polyps after they start to get more in the colony the center most stalks will turn purple.

Agreed, bust out the joes juice or lemon/lime juice IMMEDIATELY. Mojano are MAJOR pests and you dont want them in your tank
