hi i am very new to this and my tank is very new im jsut starting out

THE FIRST AND SECOND OF COURSE ARE THE SAME PICTURES THESE BEGAN TO GROW ON OUR ROCK. THE MAROON BUBBLES FIRST. AND THEY HAVE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THIS AND ANOTHER ROCK. THE OTHER SQUARE IS A PICTURE OF THIS ALMOST CLEAR STUFF THAT KINDA BRANCHES OUT OF THE SAME ROCK BUT IS ONLY ON THIS ROCK. THE LAST PICTURE IS A BAD ONE I KNOW AT THE ANGLE AT WHICH THE ROCK IS ITS HARD TO GET A REALLY GOOD PCITURE OF IT . IT IS DESCRIBED AS CLEAR TENTACLES AND THE VERY TIP IS PINK. THEY WAVE IN THE WATER. THIS DOESNT MOVE. BUT SOMETIMES RETRACTS THEM . BUT PRETTY MUCH DOESNT DO MUCH AND IS OUT MOST OF THE TIME. IT CAME ON THE ROCK . JSUT WONDERING WHAT THESE ARE A

I'm gonna take a stab at it:
1. Maroon would be a macro algae. If it resembles a balloon, take them out using tweezers to get at the attachment. If they are plates, no harm.
2. The translucent white tube, probably a harmless sponge hitcher.
3. Without a clearer pic, it could be a feather duster, aiptasia or majano anemones. Do a search in the pic galleries for a better idea.

The maroon bubbles may be Botryocladia skottsbergii. Here is an article on Bubble algaes you may find helpful: 'Bubble' Algae: Selected Descriptions, Controls and Comments by Horge Cortes-Jorge Jr.

I would agree on the possibility of the 2nd item in the same pic as the red algae is a type of sponge.
