Can someone help me ID these little guys? My LFS said it came in when someone brought something in (idk what he said) and they’re now growing in their tank and multiplying like crazy, I got them for free on this shell.

Also what is the smaller orange thing too?

Any help is appreciated

Pictures dark to clearly identify and best under white light intensity, The lower green looks like a ball anemone and above it possible duncan.
 
Those are what some people called Tulip anemones. They are pest anemones that grow fairly fast and nothing will eat them.
 
Here is another picture under white light

….and they’re now growing in their tank and multiplying like crazy,….
I get them out of your tank. They look just like a tiny BTA but they are pest all the same. Once they are establish, you won’t be able to get rid of them very easy, nothing short of kill all the tank and start over.
