Looks like a ball/club anemone to me, it's a type of Coralimorph.

They are a fairly common hitchiker. They can multiply rapidly, and can irritate some corals with their sting. They won't get any bigger than that, but like I said, can spread significantly. I've got a few in my tank, and they dont' seem to be a bother.

Hard to tell from the pic, cant really see the skeleton at all, but it looks like it could be a cup/hidden cup coral to me. Common harmless hitchhiker and pretty cool.

Looks alot like either ball anemone or cup coral. Do a search on here or google and see which one you think. Too hard for me to tell between the 2 from the pic.
