The centerpide thing you see are bristleworms. You can do some research on them and see if you like them or not. The sponge looking things are just that, sponges. And the white roots, idk sorry lol.

Pic 2 is a bristle worm. The others look like sponges, but I can't tell a lot from the picture.

Are the sponges harmful

Tube worms, vermetid

Not at all, filter feeders.

danemma · Sep 10, 2017

so these are vermetid snails cuz there are literally hundreds on a few pieces of live rock

No, the big white tubes are, possibly feather dusters as well. Not sure on the rest. Maybe some else can chime in. It's live rock, full of life. There's gonna be things on there you might not be able to identify. That's a risk with buying live rock. You can get good or bad, sometimes both.
