the first pick appears to be the skeleton of some type of encrusting coral. i have a bunch on my marshall island live rock. the second looks like halimeda marcroalgae, but i am not positive.

nice emerald crab, he looks like mine (they all probably look aline, though).

but, i think it is just the skeleton ... the coral is probably pretty dead.
