the pics are a bit too fuzzy to tell for sure. but the pic on the far right looks to be sun coral or maybe even some sand polyps. about an hour or two after u turn out the lights run back and check to see if the polyps are out. they should be light yellow to orange in color if it is sun coral..
the two bottom pics look to be of a green macro algae that we call "dead man's finger"

Really hard to tell from the pics. Maybe a sun coral and the other looks like some type of zoanthid.

tunicate? stick your finger in and see if it bites...j/k!!! haha. with my luck it would be some venomous sea creature and i would blame myself for your death, resulting in a crappy home life for me.

tunicate. harmless. and very boring. lol
I'm going to go with tunicate or maybe even one of the myriad species of cup coral. It's really hard to say for sure. If it is a tunicate the whole knob is it's body.
