The first picture, I'd like a coral Id, came on the live rock I purchased today.

Second, it's odd. Came on a piece of Carribean live rock I purchased today. It's in a small quarantine tank for now, it wasn't there when I first put it in. Noticed it about 5 hours after.

Third that bright red spot, is it a sponge of some sort? How do I feed it?

Thanks in advance for any advice :)

I have that one spot where you can see the skeleton easily, but then on other parts of the rock there are stragglers here and there that dont have much of the skeleton built up yet so they look very much like aiptasia. I think it may be a cup coral...
