Can you guys help a beginner out? These came on some live rock I bought and I'm not sure what they are. Good or bad? Thanks in advance!

first pic is a xenia or similar soft coral, the second is a feather duster worm, the last pic are some button polyps (also a soft coral).

All are fine for the tank.

Kenya tree pic #1 I think. Still all the same and safe

Thanks, is there anything I need to do to help these guys grow? I have strong lighting

The first pic is a Kenya tree (Capnella sp.) and the last one is a button polyp (Protopalythoa sp.) the one in the middle is a calcifying feather duster tube worm of some sort.

Nope. They should grow easy no matter what you do.

They are all very hard animals. They will all grow under subpar reef aquarium conditions. The two soft corals will take over and thrive under good light and water quality. The tube worm is a filter feeder. If there is enough food for him, he will reproduce.
