On the left it looks like some simple green daisy polyps. On the right, the small blue stuff is what I believe to be blue anthellia. Watch both of them - they almost grow like weeds. Keeping your rock separated from the rest of your rock work is a smart idea.

The blue is the same coral. It hadn't opened up fully

Could someone also help ID these for me as well so I can do further research. I got them from my LFS. I was informed of the names etc, but I got sidetracked and forgot them between the drive from LFS to my home. They are doing fine at idea parameters but I want to read more on them.

picture 1- Looks like galaxia to me. Not 100% on that
picture 2- Looks like star polpys. I have seen tan one like these. Not often though. Could also be tiny xenia?
picture 3- Those appear to be Lord Howensis acans (acan lords) to me.
This is just my .02

#1 looks like a Rhodactis Mushroom to me. AKA Green Hairy Mushroom.
#2 looks like a small colony of Erythropodium Gorgonian. AKA Encrusting Gorg.
#3 - I can't tell from the picture. AKA Beats me.

#1 is definitely a Rhodactis 'shroom. Be careful as these can/will engulf small tankmates.
#3 MIGHT be a fuzzy tongan 'shroom...it's hard to tell from the pic. The same applies to it...they can engulf small tankmates.

Thanks guys I found out the info for 2 of them by pic comparison. #1 is the green hairy mushroom, # 3 is a blasto. Just have to find out what #2 is and the very first image I posted.

#2 looks like Jasmine Polyps to me. Here is SWF's link. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/Jasmine-Polyp_p_5786.html . There are a lot of different types but I'm pretty sure that is what they are.
