Any ideas?

I bought some new live rock for my newly established 29 Gal tank and noticed a few things I can't identify. I think the 2nd may be some form of sponge, but not sure. It almost looks like a transparent spiderweb the way it intertwines. The first I have no idea. It is blackish-greyish and is kind of rubbery to the touch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same as your #2, but yellow... I believe it to be, as you said, some sort of sponge.

The second is a common hitchhiker sponge. The first one I have seen on live rock but don't know what it is.

BTW, Welcome to the forum.
