What about these guys ?
It looks like a mouth coming out of a rock with transparent tentacles.

Oops sorry not sure why the picture isnt showing up.

 

[Dctrojan]

That's a Hidden Cup coral. I have several of those

Could somebody please help me identify this little guy? Solo many of them look the same and I don't want to accidentally let something bad into tank...

I don't know how big it is, but it looks big enough that I wouldn't want it in my tank

Hi All,

Found this thing today under a rock while removing a gorilla crab. It just looks like a sac of poo and then a "tentacle" will come out searching for stuff, any ideas? cause im at a loss. Thanks

Tried to draw some arrows

Orange stuff

 

[JiveWalker]

Coral?

 

[Dctrojan]

Ive got several pieces of lR that look identical to yours 2 weeks ago. I believe the orange stuff is a type or coraline algae

That's a Phyllangia americana. Very easy non-photosynthetic coral. You can feed it brine shirmp/mysis shrimp.

Coral?

Looks like a dead Goniastrea sp.

Looks like a dead/almost dead favia/favaties of some sort.

Strange indeed. Does it move itself, or is it sessile. Does it have a skeleton?

It could be some type of worm. Another possibility is that it is a sage of life of something. Let me know if you find out.

Ive got a few I need help identifying. Im new to the hobby so bare with me.

Cant make out pic 1 well enough to ID.

Coral in pic 2 and 5 is Cladocora arbuscula (not P. americana)

Pic 3, the branching thing is Meristiella sp. (A macro algae)
Pic 3, the orange stuff could be algae (Lithophyllum sp.?) or sponge (Cliona sp.; most probable maybe even Tedania ignis but cannot see osculum

Pic 6, (on the clam), could be several things, bryozoans, colonial tunicates, sponge, or algae. (going to need a better pic).

Most likely some species of Eunice. Kill it with fire.... :blown:

Any help with this guy would be great, just need to know if its good or bad. It already moved about an inch.

Hard to tell from the pic, but it is most likely some type of anemone. Check for a central mouth and check for a skeleton.
