Default Need help with an ID please

Well, two ID's really.

1. The small, white anemone in the centre of this picture - I recently re-arranged all the rock in my tank, and that nem would have been growing under one of them in complete darkness. It's not in full MH light. Since I took that pic it's turned slightly pink.

2. The green LPS looking thing in the same picture right at the top. It started growing spontaneously on a piece of base rock that a colony (which perished ages ago in an alk crash) came on. At first I thought it was a majano anemone, but then I realized that it actually has a calcified skeleton. It doesn't get any taller, but it's spread dramatically in the past few months. It looks like a super tiny, short version of a torch coral. It's got really aggressive sweeper tentacles that come out at night that have been killing the small yellow/green sps underneath it (also a hitchhiker, it started on that rock as a single polyp), so one of the two of them is about to get moved.
