Are these safe?
The image with the circle worries me the worst. I never saw it on the piece of live rock I got from lfs. The other is some kind of tube worms. They are lavender color and quite cool. Please let me no what you think. Any feed back would ROCK. Thank in advance

One-pest anemone. Will irritate coral. (You should verify its not curly que or Condy though which ain't as much a nuisance)
Two-feather dusters. Will contribute to better water quality |

The first one looks like an Aiptasia while the second one is just a bunch of harmless feather dusters.

First looks like it could be Aiptasia (pest anemone) to me. Get rid of it asap. They will soon spread to every surface if not.
+1 for #2 being harmless.
