help ID a few things

[duckfluffed]

Hey guys! Any help will be appreciated. I have an idea about what a few things are, but just cant decide. Thanks for your time

1.) I think this might be a kenya tree. Its actually 4 together:

2.) No clue, but they look like palm trees:

3.) The thing to the left of my hermit and leather coral. It looks like a pile of poo, but I've seen it pulling in a silky strand. I've searched for similar things and think it might be a vermitid snail:

4.) Xenia or anthelia? I compared pics of the two from the website of my LFS and they look too similar:

5.) This guy looks cool, but if it's a pseudocornyactis I'm not sure I want him in the tank:

6.) Some type of worm:

1 Kenya Trees.
2 looks like a type of Clove Polyps
4 a picture of the base with the polyps retracted would help, but possibly Pipe Organ.
5 ball anemone

Thanks for the info!
I think #4 is a GSP. I don't have a pic of it closed, but I looked some up and it looks the same. And the pic of the anemone is the best I've seen of mine. I'll have to keep an eye on it. Thanks for all the ID sites btw. Very helpful

Have any of you seen a blue stomatella before? was looking him up and I think he's kinda rare

I've been reading and found that a GSP generally has a bright purple to reddish colored mat, whereas an encrusting gorgonian has one that is tan, cream or coffee colored. There could be special cases, but I think mine fits in the encrusting gorgonian category . Luckily they are both hardy GSPs seem to need slightly higher lighting, temp and water movement, but encrusting gorgonians can thrive in the same conditions so I will treat him as a GSP. I'm glad I read up on these b/c they will both spread easily and take over other corals. I think I'm gonna stick the small rock that its on in the sand by itself. It will look cool once it completely takes it over. Thanks again guys!
