The one kind of looks like a shrimp but not really, I also have white tube everywhere. Levels are fine, tank if over 1 year. I've also
Ways had those worms but the shrimp thing is new and there are a few of them.

Little shrimp-guy is an amphipod. Cousin to the sowbugs and roly-polies in your garden, he's a tiny member of your cleanup crew. (Or a tiny snack for your fish...)

Wormy shells ... are probably worms, or maybe vermetid (means "worm-like", I think...) snails. Annoyance at worst.

The last photo looks somewhat similar to pineapple sponges, but also might be a tunicate (sea squirt).
