Are they corals?

[Euphrate]

Hey, i'm so fascinated by hitchhikers than i could buy live rocks everyday to get new ones!

But here are the one i still have doubt on what it is.

I think they may be corals for 1 (the thing with big filaments) & 2, they are open when lights are on but maybe a pest anemon for 3?

Thank you for your help

In the first pic, I see clove polyps and what's probably a sponge.
Same with pic #2.
What specifically are you asking about in #3?

Very cool rock, btw!

Hmm, on the second i'm asking about the brown little guys (super tiny like 2-3mm max), they look like polyps. And as you said they are probably clavularia!
And number 3 the red/pink bubbles on it, i wonder if they are anemons or peaceful hitchhikers

And btw thanks for the LR! They come from indonesia as my LFS is very reliable!

Brown little guys are some sort of clove polyps.

The third picture is a little blurry when I zoom in. If you can get a clearer shot (with a little brighter lighting) it would help. Fwiw, not all anemones are "non-peaceful" hitchhikers.

Idk, Tampa bay saltwater has a massive hitchhiker library that is really helpful. I browse it even when I don’t have hitchhikers bc I just think it’s cool

Are the red pieces hard or soft?

Smart question! They're hard!

Definitely not anemones then

I'm still wondering who are those red hard polyps! I'll put them in my tank as they're probably not nems (even if there's good ones)

I won't touch them as i wear gloves for absolutely everything i touch in this tank.
But fascinating hitch hikers! Thanks for those precises informations!

Agree with the foraminifera. I couldn’t think of the name but that was it
