Mysterious orange coral on live rock?

Hello! First post on this site, been googling and reading up on a ton of stuff on this site. First time registering though.

Anyways, I purchased a kenya tree that's attached to a live rock. I specifically bought this one because of this mysterious orange tube coral. It almost looks like a filter feeder because it has a mouth on the tip that opens and closes. It has about 4 tubes all coming from the center.

On the bottom of the rock i have removed another coral/anemone? It's incredibly small, the size of a button on your shirt, if not smaller than that. If you look closely you can see very tiny tentacles coming out of the top around it's mouth. Here are pictures of both.
