These popped up in the last few days.

Red: I am most interested in as this seems to be growing from a marine cultured rock
Blue: I am concerned that these are "pest" snails, or snails in general.

Nothing to worry about with the worms circled in blue, those are common filter feeders that appear as your tank matures
