ID Help

Hello guys I'm new to these forums and to reef keeping. Its been a huge learning curve so far but I'm enjoying every minute! I added a live rock covered in coralline algae to my 1 month old tank. All of my water parameters looked good and the LFS said it would be ok to add. As a bonus the rock has two small mushrooms on it. I dipped the rock in reef dip then rinsed with RO water. This morning it appears that it had several hitchhikers. Anybody seen any of these guys?

The first video is a little guy tucked into a rock crevasse.


The second is a couple of little guys that look like little feathers swaying in the current.


The third is a couple of worms that appear to be moving around the rock.


Thanks for any help in advance!!!!

Going to guess 1st video is a Aiptasia ... not a good guy.

Going to guess the 2nd video is a feather duster ... good filter feeder.

Edit: think you have both a Aiptasia and feather duster in there.

What are the Aiptasia and how do I get rid of them?

If you wanna go the invert way you could get some peppermint shrimp. I think they're adorable but they also attacked all my other anemones. I got a marine betta a year later and he ate them. I wasn't mad because I love my mini carpets.

Thx for all the help on this guys. I removed the suspect rock and added two more peppermint shrimp for a total of three. In the process of putting all the original LR back in I can't find my new Orchid Dottyback Fridmani. Im really hoping i didn't smash him or something!
