Identify these please?

I bought live rock from my LFS and can’t figure out what these species are. I’m posting 2 different things growing on one of the rocks. The photo with “6 of 11” above it on the screenshot glows in the dark. The other does not, if that helps. Part of why I’m asking is I’m concerned about having harmful worms in the rock. I read a dip in dechlorinated freshwater can rid rocks of pest worms but I want to protect these growths.

For additional information notnon R2R, I like to go to the Tidal Gardens website. For instance, this nuclear green palythoa has all information you might need for palythoa care under the description, including videos on the subject.

First pic is a sponge. What do you mean scammed?

Thank you! I’ll try to get a better pic tomorrow. I’m concerned a harmful worm may have gotten my green clown goby. It hides most of the time but hasn’t come out to eat in a few days. I moved the rock in the tank and it didn’t come out then either. There’s all kinds of creatures in these rocks! Some good yes, but possibly bad too. @joseserrano - scammed? No idea what you’re referring to.
