    2nd is a red feather duster, they are cool. I have a whole bunch on a piece of LR and it almost looks like red grass.

    Not sure the thing on the left, looks like the tube below it is going the other direction so I don't think it's a feather duster. Maybe a sponge? Same with that weird red thing on the bottom right, I think that's a type of sponge too but I'm not sure

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Fuzzy is either a pineapple sponge or a type of Foraminiferans

    The red is a Foraminiferan.

    the first picture was stated what i would say and the second picture is maybe another sponge, does it open or close?, is it soft? etc

    it also could be a semi closed zoa
