Grabbed some TBS rock and was wondering if anyone could ID these? Was hoping these crabs weren't gorilla crabs but I suspect they are. The corals look like NPS

Cup corals. They'll do fine in your tank. Mine that came in on TBS rocks are still alive and well 20 months later.

As I mentioned on Socali, bottom right is gorilla, middle I don't know and top left might be a juvenile porcelain crab (count the legs).

Tube coral babies tend to be more golden and tight together. I'm digging for photo of larger colony. They stay golden but grow taller.

Hidden cups, Phyllangia Americana, tend to be clear/whitish/pinkish base and more space between them. You can see them here. They get wider as they age.
