    The first pic is a harmless scutus

    The second pic is an anemone of some sort. The pic really isn't clear enough for me to tell.

    The white crab could either be a porcelein crab or an acro crab, a pic would be nice, +1 on the second pic being an anenome, a clearer pic would help

    clearer pic would help but apears to be a case of aiptasia. should be removed. the chance of spreading is likley if removed wrond. will sting other members in your tank if it is. should watch close and of course keep us updated
