The first 2 pictures i just noticed today and think it may be an aiptasia, it retracts very fast if disturbed and has 7 or eight tenticles and what looks like a mouth
The second 2 pictures are a green sponge looking thing growing on some white star polyps. It looks like it has a spout or somthing on it, it has been growing slowly over the last month or 2

1st one I would say aptasia, second one sponge or sea squirt.
Tough to tell either one kinda blurry.

ok i was thinking aiptasia too but ive never really had experience with them so i wanted to make sure, im gonna get rid of it ASAP.
What shoudl i do about the sponge? is it hurting the WSP, should i move him, leave him? if i peel him off and move it will it survive?

Sponge shouldnt hurt the WSP. I wouldnt worry about it too much, watch the other one real close to see if it spreads. I myself would get rid of it, if it is perhaps you can catch it before it gets too far, it sure looks like a pest type to me.
