I would say, first one is a colt base on the thick base and second zoanthides or palythoas.:) Nice hitchhikers :bravo:

i thought colt also. i have xenia in the tank and they dont look the same. Could it be zoa if there has only ever been 8 of them and they are all connected. when its closed it looks like a honey comb.
