I don't know what it is. Looks to be a polyp of some sort, but I am still learning how to identify common and ornamental polyps. what happens when you give it food?
 
Nothing really I tried today and it just sat on top of it
 
I tried some rods reef coral food.
It's doesn't have anything just that clear vail that goes down. Then the white dots but in the top center it has that hole and in the 2nd set of pics the pic on the right you can see that white line that looks like just part of the back wall but it's a line coming out of the center hole

the line almost looks as a sort of mucous or feces. i wonder if it is a sort of corallimorpharia, is there any hard skeletal element?
 
beautiful tank OP, can we get a view of the whole thing while youre at it?

Does the mushroom thing move at all? maybe its some weird anemone

as for the macros, looks like caulerpa mexicana or taxifola, maybe caulerpa racemosa or acetabularia its kinda hard to tell. No clue on the blue-ish ulva looking one
 
Looks like you have a combination of Bryopsis (the feather looking algae) and Grape caulerpa. Both are not desirable in my opinion. The two mushroom looking things have me stumped with that weird skirt that drops down. Not sure
 
Thanks ! We'll the mushroom thing is in my 30 and my brain decided to split 2 times ! Since this post and the baby news took up residency next to them and now the mushroom things are gone lol.
I thought the Grape caulerpa and other stuff was great for nitrates. You do have to trim it but that's not hard and it add to the tank I like the back left its the forest lol the peppermint shrimps take cover there all day.
Here's a pic and thanks for the comment just added my 1st sps and a Aussi torch not open yet and the Forest Fire Digi are not very happy right now.
The rest closed up some from my hands being in the tank
