Some type of worm.

Last one looks ok to me. Second last one is a pest anemone probably. 2nd and 3rd from top are worm, 3rd one is probably bristle worm.

Pretty cool collections!

It might help to know where your local sea is - don't need your precise address, but a region would narrow it down. Caribbean? Mediterranean? Indo-Pacific?

It's from Indian ocean.

2 and 3 look like nemertea - ribbon worms. Most are predators, the species of worm will determine whether they're good or bad for your tank. Some species are small and innocuous and act more as scavengers/micropredators while others are generalized predators that could potentially eat snails, crabs, shrimp, nudibranchs, other worms, even fish, etc. If you're unsure your best bet is to remove them.

Thanks Umbra. I have them still in QT. Will do some more research before adding them.
