I found 2 different things in my tank I have no idea what they r. One of them is a white ball shaped object and the other ones remind me of an aiptasia but the tips of it kinda remind me of an anemone, can anyone help me figure out what they r plz?

Those white balls are just harmless sponges. That anemone looking thing is just that, a Ball-Tipped anemone. Pseudocorynactis I believe.
 
Agreed, the white balls are probably just pineapple sponges.
 
Thank u :) now I'm just wondering about the ball tip anemones.........they r all over my one piece of rock, r they considered a burden in the tank and if so how do I mellow them out
 
If you want to get rid of them just rough them up with your finger a bit until they close up tight. Knead up a small ball of epoxy and just smother them. It would be like putting some chewed up bubble gum over them. This will eventually harden up and sooner or later you'll never even know they were there. GL.
 
I have several ball tips in mine and they don't bother anything, just look really pretty like glass decorations. Seems like all my stuff knows to leave it alone :)
 
I wonder if bubble gum is reef safe? Could be onto something there for pest control... Vermatellid snails, aptasias... Gosh that may actually even out perform 2 part epoxy! At a fraction of the cost.
