Curious as to what these little guys are that came on a piece of our live rock? Any help is appreciated :-)

A few of those look like vermetid snails. Are they purple and corkscrew shaped? Have a single thin strand coming out of them?

They're kind of a brownish red and have that white tip sticking out like in the picture. Are they bad for the tank?

And the blob (circled in green) is now nowhere to be seen so I'm assuming it's a live critter.

My guess is blob = limpet. I agree the others are vermetids.
