Need ID on two things

Need some help with an ID on this stuff.

Green fan thing sticking out of my eagle eye:

Some kind of macroalgae or plant growing on astrea snail:

Bump out of curiousity. That green fan thing looks kind of cool tho, if it wasn't in a zoa.

The first looks like small Mermaids Fan algae. The second appears to be Acetabularia.

looks like a couple of macros. The second looks familiar. I think it may be secually reproduced Caulerpa sp. just starting. Try posting in that forum if you haven't already.

Just checked pics of these on the internet and I'm near sure that you're right. I'll probably just leave them both in the tank for now, now that I know they're just macros and not something terrible. Thanks for the help.
