2 IDs: flat shroom-like coral & what is this other shroom doing?

What is this flat, leathery looking coral the shrimp is standing on? Off on the left edge of the pic you can see the edge of a bumpy green shroom... I'm talking about the brown mat with very small polyps on it. I think the largest polyps have 12 tentacles though others seem to have less. It has been slowly growing on my shroom rock and doesn't seem to be bothering anything, but I gots to know what it is!

Also, I have a nice blue striped shroom on another rock. Today it looks very shriveled, but I can see a strange red/brown mat extending from underneath it. You can see part of this protrusion on the shroom's left side in this picture. Since it has seemed very happy until now, I am hoping this means it is reproducing. I'd be sad if my cool $3 shroom bit the dust.

Thanks for the help!
