# 1 and 2 LOOK like some sort of nems but its hard to tell. #3 looks like some sort of LPS coral. #4 looks like 2 different things. If its hard it looks to be a sun coral with the skeleton exposed. If its soft maybe button polyps? Basicaly Im not sure lol but I do know that you have some nice looking live rock. Did you get get it?

first 2 look like aiptaisa rest are old corals and algae and sponges. first 2 pics that seems to me as aiptaisa. if u can take the rock out burn it with a lighter in the area or if not then use kalk paste and inject its mouth with it. but do remove its a pest.

That's my answer too. #3 might be cup coral. #4 does look like a sun coral.
