    First pic sounds like a piece of galaxea. But, that is a wild guess. You'll need a better pic for a positive ID. Second pic looks like some sponge.

    first one can pull in and looks like a zoa. when it does that i got brave and touched it with a tooth pick as for aipstasia i have a copper band butterflyfish and he seemed to think so an tryed to take a bite of it and i think it stung him cause he darted away from it faster than i have seen him move before either that or he realy didnt like the taste
