Hey, i'm so fascinated by hitchhikers than i could buy live rocks everyday to get new ones!

But here are the one i still have doubt on what it is.

I think they may be corals for 1 (the thing with big filaments) & 2, they are open when lights are on but maybe a pest anemon for 3?

Thank you for your help :)

In the first pic, I see clove polyps and what's probably a sponge.
Same with pic #2.
What specifically are you asking about in #3?
Hmm, on the second i'm asking about the brown little guys (super tiny like 2-3mm max), they look like polyps. And as you said they are probably clavularia!
And number 3 the red/pink bubbles on it, i wonder if they are anemons or peaceful hitchhikers :)

And btw thanks for the LR! They come from indonesia as my LFS is very reliable!

Brown little guys are some sort of clove polyps.

The third picture is a little blurry when I zoom in. If you can get a clearer shot (with a little brighter lighting) it would help. Fwiw, not all anemones are "non-peaceful" hitchhikers.
