help with unidentified creatures

hello to all who remember and to those who don't but i have a problem i have sum weird junk in my aquarium..... one thing is this red shell that seems to grow on my live rock and theres a pinkish worm thingie that comes out of this shell once in a while.. not quite sure what it is. and then there is this stringie stuff that is red and it looks like a brittle star but its so thin you can barly even see it but it moves sooo.... lastly there is this like yellow worm shaped thing and it comes out of the rock and it's stays out for a couple second and when my shrimps comes to check it out it swiftly goes straight back in the hole.. but if you know what any of these creatures are i would appreciate anything...
thanks a bunch!~

Interesting critters, huh? The beauty of LR. Sorry, I don't know any of them, but I can tell you one thing. You have a really alive LR :D .

All I can offer are WILD guesses.... if you describe each critter in more detail I might be able to pin some of them down.
wild Guesses:
Red Shell - Cyanobacter. Does it grow in sheets that are easily siphoned out?
Pink worm - Bristleworm.
Stringie stuff - Cirratulid worm.
Yellow worm - Peanut worm.

WOW, was I ever off <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />
1. Either a small featherduster or a Vermitid Snail
2. Either a Cirratulid or a Terebellum
3. NOT a peanut worm. I haven't a clue.
Are they slender or boxy?
 
which are slender or boxy?? <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />
the goldish worm colour thingies are
cylindric..... the stringie stuff is slender
and the red worm is kinda like a cylinder
with a thikc hole on the top.. like a coke can if you will...

welcome back
and one question, the stringy things, are there several of them appearing from a central location, maybe like several tentacles???
if so, could be a spagetti worm(good cleaners)
