ID Help for Dad's Tank

My dad has a 55 gallon tank with a pari of clowns, a goby, and an anenome. Pretty basic set-up, been running really good for YEARS. There are some things that are growing in the tank latley and he isnt sure what they are when I ask him about them. Maybe someone here can help?

In one picture there is a soft white blob on the side of a rock.
Another picture has what looks like a ton of tiny snails?
And one pic looks like there are some actual corals growing even though he has never had any kind of corals in the tank.

Help please!

The "snails" in the first picture look more like Limpets to me. That white blob in the second picture is most likely either a sponge or a tunicate. Those little polyps in the third picture might be Colonial Hydroids.

1. Collinista snails?

2. Sponge?

3. Hydroids (can become a problem)
