Hi, new to the whole reef thing.
Just curious as to what these two are that came in and if I should remove them?
Thanks

The first looks like a discosoma mushroom (the upper one) - the other looks like a haity mushroom of some kind but its difficult to see because the heavy blue light

Looks like a red mushrooms! Discosmosa and the green one appears to be sucked in some. But that’s a Green Hair mushroom. Rhodactis mushroom. Slow growers, you can remove them. Sometimes they’ll split. The green bush one will split and take over a rock. Better to island that one instead of your Main rock.
 
Appreciate your helps guys.
So they aren't going to be harmful in anyway?
Thank you

Nope! Sell for 40$ in my area. Free coral, dont really do any harm, and they grow fast and easily. If you dont want 300 mushrooms by the end of the year make an island surrounded by sandbed for them so they dont spread.

Appreciate your knowledge.
I was under the assumption it was a majano anemonie not a rhodactis
That's a bit better photo from this morning.
