Please see attached. On the blue eyes they are green tubes that are tough to pull out, on the the other ones the look like purple palm fronds

It’s difficult to see (the pics are a bit blurry for ID), but for the green tubes, maybe a Neomeris sp. (macroalgae), and for the purple palm fronds, possibly something like clove polyps or xenia (corals) or a red macroalgae?

Again, I can’t tell for sure. Hopefully someone will have some more solid ID’s for you.
 
Pics are not clear enough, but perhaps colonial hydroids? When in higher light they take on a fluorescent green look and lower down more brownish (dark purplish under blue light).
