Please help me ID - NEW CREATURES!

[fb123]

Hey Guys,
Of the many weird new creatures that seem to have spontaneously generated in my tank ( among them: a sea sponge, an "abalone", some sort of star) these are some of the oddest. Please let me know if you can figure out what they might be..
Thanks,

The Green Things just starting popping up one day and now they are multiplying. As for the thread-like things, they just showed up one night and move visibly. I can see grains of sand or other stuff being drawn in my the tentacles...
Anyone know what these are??
Thanks

the white things are tube worms covered in algae
the stringy red looking stuff is a worm someone told me they sting stuff but never seen it happen..
they usually stay in the sand bed

The first pic is a Spaghetti worm and the second is not tube worms, it's an algae (Neomeris annulata).
