Hmm,
They look like either aiptasia or majano, both are pests.
Wait for other input.

NB Majano IMO - PITA, you need to get some kalk, mix it to a thick paste, suck it it via a turkey baster, and squirt the little blighters (not to many at once, as kalk will raise PH), it is war,a nd you may be in for a long battle (I have been battling for some time with these little horrors).

The top ones look like zoanthids from that angle. Good of course.
The bottom appears to be the same, but also looks like a majano anemone, which is a pest. Do they have a mouth at the center?

The first shot looks like polyps but the second one looks like aiptasia, they dont look like manjano's a better pic would help one thats right on top of them. Eric :D

Yes, they do look like they have got a little mouth in the middle:mad:
