I am somewhat of a newbie so I would really welcome your comments!

Those things with the tentacles on your rocks appear to be aipstasia, which is a nuisance anemone. Most people kill them with Joe's Juice as soon as they see them so that they do not spread all over the rocks (which they are notorious for doing). You do not want them because they can pack a powerful sting to small fish and invertebrates, and definitely to any corals that are near them.
With that said, it looks like you have a really nice tank there. Your rock looks very good as well.

I did buy cured live rock

So maybe that helped

your tank would look great with a nice green coral of some sort.
With all that beautiful purple coralline, a green coral would pop!
Maybe a frogspawn or some nice bright zooas?
Very nice tank!
