Default LR Hitchhiker ID Help Please

I got some live rock from another member and it is fantastic except I have what I think is Aiptasia. Am I right? I picked up some Aiptasia-X, but will not pull the trigger until I am sure. When I touch them with my tweezers, they pull into a little ball.





The other ones, I believe are Feather Dusters, so I will leave them alone, unless otherwise directed.





The tank is not green like the pictures show, the camera sure makes it look that way though!

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, I assumed either Aiptasia or Manjano. I have the aiptasia-X to take care of them.

Here are a few more hitchhikers I have found so far.

What I believe is a Dwarf Zerbra Hermit Crab.



And these two I need help on.

Last picture is a mushroom. I would agree on the hermit. The middle looks like a bubble algae maybe

That is the general consensus. I nuked all the Manjano last night with Aiptasia X. It worked great. Now I hope they are gone, but I am ready for the war if they make a comeback. I also found a Brittle Star in the rock last night. Pretty cool animal.
