1 Looks like a mushroom or anemone of some kind in bad shape (can't really tell for condition in pic) or are you looking at the feather duster with the red feathers.
2 A stomatella snail.
3 Sand polyps with margaritta snail.
4 Most likely a Young coral.

I am not refering to the red duster , the ugly thing next to it...
Also that is a blue leg crab in the polyps photo , he just picked up an empty snail shell...
Anyone know the name of the coral in the last photo???

The first one looks like a Rock Anemonie to me. It looks similar to mine. I agree with the other ID's in the other posts.

The snail looks like a baby cowrie...but its a bit hard to confirm looking at just the belly.

your snail could be a stomatella snail if so its a great alge eater and reef safe a good addition to any tank
