Algae and the rock is that color a little. Might be some detritus laying on there but I just blew the rocks off so I think it's only algae

They are neither aiptasia nor mojanos ..

Maybe some type of hydroid but we would need a clearer picture to be certain..

I agree with mcgyvr, some form of hydroid, most likely not harmful, keep an eye on them, if they seem to spread rapidly might be a good idea to try getting rid of them.. likely they wont though and will be fine left alone.
