Zoas don't need a whole lot of lighting. If you have good lighting, they will spread like wild fire.

1. i cant tell, it could be a polyp, it might be something else. once it opens it will be easier to tell.
2. turnicates, harmless fitler feeders.
3. button polyps, and could be a sponge (if you noticed growth, and its alive). looks more like a dead coral skeleton from the pic.

It is hard to tell. I think they may be aiptasia. I would like to see a pic with them open.
