Unidentified Lps, soft coral and Nudibranch?
Can anyone help me in an id on these two guys that came with a piece of live rock i purchased recently. The soft coral is about 30mm tall and what i think is a sea slug/nudibranch is about 4-6mm long
Also if anyone can help me id this lps i spotted at my lfs, the guy had no idea what it was, and i dont want to buy it till i do.

the bottom coral is a blasto. Its pretty easy to keep and gets nice color. Moderate light and low flow, one of my favorites. They are usually pricey so pick it up for cheap since he has no clue.

A rose bubble tipped up here in canada around $120 and up.
And you rarely see them in the stores. |

The first pic looks like pulsating Xenia or the start of a colt coral. But i think its xenia. If its a colt i'd scrub it off.

I'm not sure the 2nd pic is a nudibranch. Any chance you can catch it & put it in a dish for another picture?

Top one looks more like a kenya tree. Feel the stalk, is it very soft and slimey feeling, or is it leathery? Leathery means it's a kenya.

It is soft and slimy and when disturbed it retracts its tentacles so much it resembles a retracted sarcophyton alot.
