Can anyone help IDing these few things? Got 40lbs of live rock from LFS. Found some neat hitchhikers like snails, crabs, bristle worms ect... Can anyone help with these things?

1 few brownish mushrooms? Are they ok to have?

2 these shute looking things that have antenna possibly and look like cob webs come from them

3 this big ball of cobweb looking thing with a hole. Is there a creature inside? Lol

4 I think this rock is called tonga? What is the yellow all over it?

Thank you guys! Still cycling my tank and I'm just trying to be patient while still admiring the tank

Should I just keep a watch on them or should I put something in the tank to eat them?
 
Photo 1 Mushrooms corals, 2 vermetid snails, 3/4 yellow and white things are sponges, they are good!
Only thing I’d be concerned about is the vermetid snails they can be annoying.
Yup ditto on all this confirmed mushrooms, vermetid snails and sponge!
 
They say bumblebee snails eat them but you’d need a lot of snails
Would I be better off just taking the whole rock out? I think 2 rocks have them on it. Or just roll the dice? Lol... My plan is either all fish or maybe an anenome for clown and maybe zoas
 
Actually 4 rocks have them

vermemit snails are one of those annoying they that somehow just make their way into your tank no matter what. I would go through an crush as many as you can and get some bumblebee snails
