#1 looks like an LPS of some sort or another, just by the skeleton, the others should chime in with a more exact answer. #2 l believe is a Q-tip sponge. #3 is a red feather duster, cute aren't they?

most sponges (if thats what it is) are ok but don't like light
that baby looks to me like what is called anthocauli (fancy name for daughter colony) which is a survival/reproductive stategy where a portion of flesh that was left when a colony was damaged regrows a new colony - so it will be whatever the adult was which kinda looks more like a fox coral then a trumpet to me
the reds will stay small
