The first one came on my live rock and is encrusted on the rock

Here is another pic of it with another hitchhiker beside it coming out of the hole in the live rock.

And lastly these hitchhikers which I have in a few different spots around the tank, each head is about the size of a pencil eraser.

Any help would be much appreciated.

+1 except I think the first one is porites

Here's a pic of my frag or porites, does yours look similar? Mines red which is a hard color to come by from what I understand but they come in other colors as well.

I have the same encrusting corals all over my live rock, which came from Fiji. In the light they'll turn a lighter tan, almost pink. It looks to me like it might actually be one of the species of reef building corals that built the rocks themselves
