Tank has been running for about 5 days now with lights and I'm starting to see some growth.

Wondering if you can identify a few pictures.

1st 3 pictures.
Are those Vermited Snails? I noticed all the Rock I got from the shutdown now contain many of them. I did not watch to scrub them down before putting them in the tank because I was kinda forced to have the tank ready within 2 days or else the 7 fish that were left to die would be going in an uncycled tank, so did not want to risk killing the live rock (Long story). Was hoping to help cycle the tank almost immediately.
If they are pests, in freshwater, pest snails were dealt with just by controlling your food and your perimeters, could they also be growing due to the tap water? Spectrapure is taking forever to replace my RODI. The 3rd picture is some of the live rock, would you say all those white dead "worms" are vermited snails?

The last 2 pictures are of something I noticed swimming in the water at tonight. When looking at it, seemed like a regular worm, but when I would flash light at it, it looked like a small centipede? Might be too hard to identify.

Thank you and sorry for the long post

Couple more pictures, I found these 2 in my sump today.

Is the Starfish alright? If it gets bigger will it eat coral if I put it in the display tank?

What is that centipede! Incredible looking colors, and it's pretty long as well. Good or bad? Should it remain in the sump or moved to the display tank?

Thanks

Asterina star which i dont trust and sponge
 
I see vermetid but others also. The others are fine although i limit them
 
Ok...first couple of pics...lots of vermetids. The white long tubes are feather dusters.
The starfish is up to you. I remove them.
The small worm first shown i would remove am unsure of him.
The last looks like a normal bristle worm.
I didnt see any nassarius snails,or tulips. If you do see a tulip i would remove.
