    First one are zoanthoids (good) -a type of soft coral.

    Second one is hard to make out what you are referring to but if it's the white stuff then it looks like sponge. It will enrcust around the rocks. some fish seem to eat it. It's also good to have.

    Hi Matt,
    Welcome to GIRS..

    You are correct on the first picture... They look like run of the mill "no name" polyps.
    The second link did not work for me.

    Happy Reefing,
    Patrick : )

    If that 2nd one ends up being a sponge make sure it always stays wet
