3 is likely Homotrema rubra, a foraminiferan. 1 and 2 I can't id.

1-hard to see, but it looks like a sponge of some sort.
2-hard to tell at all--is it flexible, etc?
3-Homotrema rubra, a harmless foraminiferan.

2 looks like it could be some type of leather. 1 is too hard to see, and I agree with the others on 3.

2- it is hard

Don't want to steal a thread but was wondering what is Homotrema rubra, I mean besides a foraminferan whatever that is, cuz I have tons of it all over my LR and was just getting ready to start the same thread whan I saw this.


Thanks

I would guess 2 is some sort of coral, then, but an id is going to require time, a better photograph, and some luck.

#2 might be those little white sponges that grow in tanks with higher than average nutrients.

2- would it be a sponge tho if it feels very hard

 

[bertoni]

It could be a calcareous sponge, actually. A sharper closeup might help.
