#1 looks like a limpet, I'm not sure what i am looking at in #2, perhaps another angle would help.

#2 looks like a bit like a spaghetti worm, but it's a darker color than the ones I've seen. If it's bothering the corals, you might be able to get it out of the rock with a turkey baster by alternating between blowing and sucking until it comes loose. They dig in pretty well so they're tough to move sometimes. If it is indeed a spaghetti worm, they're good little cleaners and harmless other than occasionally annoying smaller corals.
