still new to sw but i know top one is some kind of polyp and i think the outher is some kind of leather coral but i think its molting. anywho i dont really know but i was wondering if some1 new there proper names, they were on the rock when i got it.
 
#1 is palythoa -- a type of polyp.

#2 looks to be some sort of sponge. Two types of sponge actually, black sponge and spaghetti sponge.
 
i looked up speghetti and idk bout it, this when you look at it looks like the skin is pealing off the black thing not really growing on it. they reef safe?
 
If it's sponge, it's reef safe. I'm still not convinced it's sponge though... Do you see small holes in the surface of it?
 
aright im back with a few more pics

I don't know what the first couple pics are.If they aren't sponges then maybe decaying matter and the fungus that grows/feed on it.

Looks like another zoa or paly polyps.Does the mollusk shell open and close?It looks like just an empty shell embedded into the rocks,kinda like a fossil.
