Good - that's a male Sphaeromatid isopod (the long prongs on the tail give it away - see figure one in the link below):

Edit: Also, the nudibranch may be Tritoniopsis elegans (which is reportedly a common aquarium hitchhiker that feeds on soft corals, though in the wild it's only reported from the Red Sea at the moment) - I agree that the last thing does look like it may be a Swimming Anemone, Boloceroides mcmurrichi.
