the bottom pic looks like a glass anemone. kind of a nuisance and may want to get rid of it. get other answers first though.

I hate that stuff. I call it "wire weed" for lack of a true name. Mine is very fine and easily breaks. It like to spread in zoa patch and actuall wrap around the poylps and choke them. My new yellow tang in doing a good job munching on it.
