    1. looks like a GSP or pipe
    2 looks like a lobo. but I never seen a lobo fold like that, so it could be a namo. does it move any?

    Jasmine Polyp Coral Not worth nearly as much as Saltwaterfish.com is asking but its a link for you to verify species. They are extreamly fast growing. and send out lots of feeler tents to spread the colony.

    Other two pics are not focused enought for an ID.

    1. Those are Clove polyps. Easy to keep.
    2. Looks like some sort of sponge. Nothing harmful.

    Possibly rhodolith, I've seen it attached before to liverock that is manmade from rubble.
    Harmless let it grow, just like coralline.

    Healthy rhodolith growths will have many fine hairs across the top growing edges, They grow slowly. Although resembling coral they are infact algae.
