Not sure about the bottom area but the upper portion looks like Coralline Algae to me. Which is perfectly harmless.
In pictures 1,3,6 and 7 on the bottom left it looks like there may also be a tube worm. Which is also harmless.

Thanks! I was getting worried a little thought it was a flatworm of some kind . Just wanted to make sure nothing went downhill
I st a n case those are flatworms, I’d recommend a 10-15 second dip n swish in temperature matched rodi water. It will not harm the coral at all and if it is flatworms will cause them to fall right off.
spellcheck complete! I really don't like "autocorrect" on my phone. It's wrong more than it's right.
And FWIW - this was after a 15 second dip n swish of my Elegance coral a couple years back when I was doing battle with FW's.
