First picture is a micro brittle starfish and arm. Second picture is a stomatella snail. Both good to have

Today I saw 2 more unknown things. Why didn’t I dipped the corals... is it to late to go to the lfs and get some dip?

Bristle worm?

I hope this is not an Aiptasia or hydroid..
(Bad pic sorry!)

Here is a better picture

The one in your star polyps is another micro brittle starfish. You will see lots of arms throughout the rock work and coral of them. They are good clean up crew. The other picture it's hard to make out but it doesn't look like aiptasia to me. Maybe a tunicate which are harmless filter feeders.

Thanks for comforting me. It doesn’t look like tunicate to me. I was worrying about Aiptasia because of the one I had yesterday, I glued him and didn’t came out, hopefully no eggs.

Is it good to take the frags out (5) and dip them anyway?

I would not pull anything out and dip at this time. The stuff your seeing are beneficial parts of your ecosystem that your trying to build. The last pic is not an aptasia or hydroid, it's a colonial tunicate. Harmless and beneficial. Here's a pic for reference

Alright I won’t dip them. Does tunicate “open and close”? Sometimes it’s visible other times it’s closed and not visible.
