Here are a few animals that were offered to me and want to know what they are. Is the anemone a good one for a reef tank?

First Gregornia (sp??)

Second is some sort of star ployps looks like


THird is a bit confusing where in your tank is it?? I was gonna say some sort of anemone like the ones you see in tide pools but it could also be a jelly fish

Fourth looks like some button polyps.

My guesses:

1 - Purple Whip Gorgonian

2 - Briareum = a type of encrusting Gorg (watch out, very prolific)

3 - Flower Anemone

4 - Protopalythoa (Button Polyp)

Thanks everyone, I am a biology student in college and these came in for our marine tank. I was told I could bring home whatever I wanted at the end of the semester so I want to make sure everything would be okay. Any special care for the gorgonian or the flower anemone? It would be going into a 55 gal thats been set-up for about a year now with some soft corals and poyps. I have 260watts of PC on the tank. Thanks. Also I was thinking of getting a RBTA later on, so would I be better of not getting the flower anenome?
