Hiya
 Setup looks great On your way to a nicely filled tank!The clear "anemone" is a cup coral The others are mushrooms.. but I don't know the specific names.. I say check out a site like www.liveaquaria.com or a specific coral id site Good Luck  BTW: WELCOME TO RC!!!

The cup coral is a filter feeder. They are mostly harmless.. some can have a sting to them, but usually do not bother anything
I have 3 big ones in my tank and they do not cause any harm.. they are reef-safe

There are also Bulb-tipped Anemones that are similar to cup corals.. those pack a sting and can be dangerous to fish and corals. The tipped anemones are usually orange in color.. do a google search to see some pics. I'd show you mine, but they don't show up to well
They also usually don't last too long in home aquariums. Although.. mine have been around for months lol

Looks like a corynactis anemone. It looks like you have a mixture of rhodactis and discoma mushrooms.
