Found these on live rock I bought, any ideas?

Aiptasia, pest anemone. Be wary of those Palys too - they are of the type typically associated with palytoxin poisoning. Palytoxin is not something to mess with.

The palys were bright red but lost color during cycle. Got the rocks used. Should I just get rid from of them?
 
Looks like majano to me. While not an unattractive anemone, they are a pest and grow very quickly. They also have a pretty potent sting to other corals. I'd advise killing or removing.
 
Look up how to remove them. But to be honest not sure how much of a pest they are. I used to think they are bad but one of the nicest sps tanks I ever seen in person had a ton of them
In there tank
