the second one isn't the best pic. i think its a bubble tip anemone , or a torch . Its longer then it looks the base of it is maybe a half inch to 3/4 down i think .

Looks like pineapple sponges or sea squirt tunicates. As long as they're not harassing a coral or taking over the display, they're both harmless. The 2nd Pic looks like a ball nem or something kind of nem to me.
