Default Hitchhiker ID please

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

http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/...4A2417AA7B.jpg

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
