Hey all! I'm ~somewhat~ new to this, and I'm completely stumped on what I have growing here in my nano reef! Hitch hikers? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, guys! [emoji106]šŸ¼
 
In #1 I believe you are asking about the little pile of poo looking thing? If so, it's a vermetid snail. Crush it down to the rock really well. It casts out a mucous net to catch food. By itself it is pretty harmless and kind of cool. Unfortunately they multiply like crazy. I have a plague like number in my tank and they bother my corals.

#2, no idea. Sorry!
 
In pic one you have a vermetid snail and some palythoa button polyps. Pic two is some kind of anemone. Can you get a closer, clearer image?
 
The polyps in the first picture are Protopalythoas. The second one looks more like a Hidden Cup coral IMO.
