#4 looks like a majano anemone to me. I had those and used joe's juice to get rid of them. They will sting you and/or your fish. They will also multiply quite rapidly and can be a real pain. If you can't find joe's juice, try aptasia X or a similar product for getting rid of nuisance anemones.

Unless you REALLY REALLY like the #1 in the 3rd pic -- grape caleurpa I think -- it can be a pain to get rid of. It roots in deep and spreads... I personally don't like it.. had some hitch hike in on a piece of coral and took quite awhile grabbing small sections with tweezers trying to pull roots out -- and would grow back and pull roots out. Not very pretty compared to my corals 
Yes it's macro algae, but that's why I run big wads of cheato in my sump.

I looks like bubble algae and if you pop it it sends spores through out your tank and erupts everywhere. It is a PIA to get rid of. It is not a beneficial algae to have anywhere in your system. The way I got rid of mine was gently scarping it off with the tip of a turkey baster and sucking it out trying very hard not to pop it. If it does not release let it grow a little bigger before removing that one piece. I had it in my system for a while and now it is virtually gone. Some times an Emerald crab will help but not always.
