    the first pic is one of these 3 little white balls with openings at the top and they seem a little hairy, the second one is of a white looking slime creatire, and the last pic if similar but it seems to have 4 opening on top of it.

    They all appear to be a small sponges,no need to be worried. They come and go actually and are simple filter feeders.
    Kind regards,

    I actually posted about them about a week ago. They're Sycon sponges, completly harmless, helpful little filter feeders. I have'em all over my tank. Pretty cool to see little things growing on your LR right? Enjoy them.

    It also appears to be a sponge. It looks like a type that grows strands that almost look like vines.
