Would someone please help me identify these:

The anenome on the Turbo, is it the dreaded, "aiptasia"

Also, if I may what are the green algae and the wierd looking stick things?

Here's another of the anenome. I took the turbo out of the tank and scraped it off using a razor blade and a squeeze bulb of tank water. I reckon if it is tho, it may come back from my initial reading on them...?

I don't think that looks like aptasia. Aptasia is kind of clear when it is that small, and the tentacles are not so rounded at the ends.

Green algae is probably just that, green algae.

Somebody may know better, but that is my take on what you have there. HTH
 
The first pic looks like green coralline and the arrow pointing right looks like some type of mushroom coral. Hard to tell though since the pic is so dark. Pic 2 again, looks like green coralline algae. The anemone I agree doesn't look like an aptasia but could perhaps be majano anemone. Any chance of getting a pic from the top?
 
Hmm, guess I should have let the anemone be, but, better safe than sorry.

Here's the best I can do for now, perhaps I can get a better shot as soon as I can get my hands in the tank. :)

No it doesn't seem to close up or react to touch or light. It has a bamboo textural appearance.
