Identifying some things on my live rock

Hi, I'd like some help in identifying some things on my live rock.

I believe that IMG_20140410_192821987.jpg is aiptasia

IMG_20140410_192829950.jpg might possibly be manjano?

I have no idea what IMG_20140410_192840918.jpg is.

Any thoughts please?

I don't think the 1st is aiptasia. Never seen one with a green mouth. Possibly a rock flower.

2nd looks like a ball anemone.

3rd looks to be majano.

Odd, 1 isn't aiptasia. Let it grow and post more pics. Second looks like a hidden cup coral, Phyllangia americana. The third looks like daisy polyps.

Just for another ID, the things growing under the rocks in pic 1 are bryozoans.

I agree with Sugar. I was on my tablet last night and couldn't see the pics all that well.

I agree also although I would not let #1 grow, but then again I'm a little paranoid!

Thanks for your comments. The 3rd one looks benign to me, not sure if it's daisy polyps - mine are just brown without the green centre that all the pics on Google seem to have but I'll let it grow.

I've included a (hopefully) better pic of the first 2 under blue light, the originals weren't awesome so maybe this will give you a better view.
