I need help identifying a hitch hiker seaslug and my corals. I labeled them with numbers. Number 5 I think has 3 different corals, I know one of them is a pulsing xenia but I don't know about the other 2. The seaslug showed up 2 weeks ago and then I lost it, but found it again today. It's back has like a pink hump. I can't take any more pics of it because I lost it again!

Sea slug is a stomatella snail. Good guys.
1 is zoanthids.
2 looks like frogspawn.
3 looks like a dying birdsnest
4 some kind of clove polyp
5 Kenya tree
6 discosoma mushroom
7 Green star polyps? Light is too white to really tell though.
I am not sure what 8 is. Maybe a blasto or rhodactis mushroom.
 
Oooh I like this game here ar my guesses.

1.) Zoanthids for sure
2.) Hammer but could be a frogspawn
3.)Some sort of dying SPS
4.) Xenia
5.) Kenya Tree
6.) Discosoma mushroom
7.) Maybe a flower pot or maybe GSP
8.) I have no idea. Looks like it has a stalk so maybe some sort of Euphylia.

I like your guesses. We were pretty close

Yep we are pretty close! The euphyllia at the start looks more like a frogspawn to me because of the shape of the tentacles, hammers seem to have a more pronounced shape to them IMO.
 
1. various Zoanthids
2. Euphyllia sp. (cristata?)
3. Birdsnest
4. Clove polyps
5. Kenya Tree
6. GSP
7. Discosoma mushroom
8. Bubble coral
