Need help with identification

Ok so what are the things circled? The red polyps, the green "brain like" (I know it's not in the brain family) coral, and the white claw thing that keeps popping out of my candy cane coral?

The brain thing is a favia. The claw thing is a barnacle, filter feeder, good. The brown things are some kind of polyp.

Thanks, yea wasn't sure if those brown/burgandy polyps had a specific name... they actually doubled in numbers and then started dying... I had some parameter issues so thinking that's it... but I'm surprised they're the only things that were negatively affected.

That's really interesting on the barnacle... It comes right out of one of the center of the candy cane polyps...
