These guys came free with some live rock I purchased. they started out as just a hard round disk with ridges. Pinkish coloring with a prominent white mouth area. after a few weeks in the tank they started extending decently long blueish green tentacles. There are about 6 in a cluster on one of the rocks. They are about the diameter of a nickle at the base and the tentacles extend about an inch. They look almost like a Duncan or a flowery anemone. They eat meaty pieces of food that I offer them by closing in around it. I like the way they look and haven't noticed them spreading anywhere else. Sorry for the blurry pic. they are kind of tough to get a good pic of. Anyone know what they could be? Also the pinkish leafy thing growing near them is new. Any thoughts on that?

Hidden Cup Coral (Phyllangia americana) I believe.
 
The macro algae could be one of these
Nitophyllum
Cryptonemia Crenulata
Red Dictyota
 
Yes on the Hidden Cup.

Depends on how invasive the algae is. The piece is too small for me to make an accurate ID.
