Question what's growing on my LR?

I recently started a 29g biocube and just added my cleaning crew last night. This morning I noticed some things growing on my live rock. One is yellow and looks like a little bud with a small hole at the tip. The other one is a little orange stack with a flat head on it with a smaller one just like it next to it. What the heck are these and do I need to do anything about/with them?

I have no idea. Maybe a good, up close, in-focus photo might help.

Re: what's growing on my LR?

I agree with Ninong that picture would help a lot. Check out our photography forum for help with the picture taking.
However, if I would to take a wild guess, I would suspect that those are just plain sponges growing on the live rock. I had lots of those on the new live rock when I set up my tank.
