nobody??
The 1st pic is that plate coral, 2nd pic Millie or roscoe, 3rd tri-color valida that's what I'm guessing.
About the first pic.
It moved to right next to the glass and at night time sweepers come out. It doesnt open when the lights are on.
im confused
and this is what the "bulb" coral thingy looks like at night with the sweepers out
please HELP me identify this

That is most likely an anenome of some kind.
really hard to tell from picture but could it be a candy cane coral they open like that at night
these 2 are the same coral

It's not Candy Cane since there is no skeletal base and it moved. Most likely anemone like Jet said.

still don't have a real name for it though
Corynactis sp.

Ya that sure looks like it. Some of those have amazing colours. A rock full of colourful ones would be quite the show piece. Now I want one :)
are they safe or a nousence?
you will have to research that one and make your own judgement. use the common name "orange ball anemone" or "white ball anemone". Good luck :)
