Can anyone ID this?

I haven't a clue as to what these are...the one looks like a polyp but resembles a bad anemone. The other small white things that look like satellite dishes actually move! See if you all can tell as they are spreading pretty rapidly in my tank.



 
I can't really make anything out from the videos. The orange/brown thing in the bottom of the first picture is probably a button polyp.
 
Thats what I was thinking...the polyps are actually spreading on that one rock.

Notice in the second vid there are 2 things on the rock. One on the right and one on the lower left that looks like a satellite dish thing. The one on the right is like breathing or moving up and down.
 
?

I wouldn't worry about them. My philosophy is to leave things alone unless they're obviously messing things up or growing out of control.

All kinds of strange things pop up on live rock. It could be a type of anemone, like a ball anemone. I have 'em and they're not a problem.
 
Yeh I got alot of ball anemones. I have some really small bell looking anemones that are white with long tentacles too but I can't get them on vid, much less a pic. Now they are everywhere! I just hope they don't breed everywhere and when I decide to add some corals later on down the road they don't kill them. If this would be so, I would have to take bits of live rock out at a time and put them in a separate tank to let them die off.
