I'm not sure about the first two, but I think that the worms you describe may very well be bristle worms. Check out the hitch hiker thread for pics. If that's what you've got, they're not a problem for a new tank.

Mona is most likely correct. If they are bristle worms they are good. Post a pic if you can. Everything could live but any type of coral will most likely die.
