I'm not sure if I'm in the right category for this but I got a lot of hitchhikers on my last coral pick up in rather be safe than sorry.

First 2 pic is of an anemone looking thing that is clear and has little bubbles on the tips

The second pic is what I think is a green sponge of some sort I think that cuz it has 2 holes in it and it doesn't move around like a slug.

The third 2 pics look like aptasia to me but they r the size of small zoas and brown one is closed up and is siting on a beautiful teal sponge so I think I'm gunna pluck it what ever it is

1. ball anemone
2. Tunicate
3. Aiptasia
4. No clue
5. No clue, tunicate or sponge maybe. (can't see what you are questioning well enough, but I love the macro)
6. Tunicate or sponge.

Enjoy that rock looks great!
 
The top one is pseudocorynactis. I'd get rid of it. They are pretty but don't benefit anything. They also spread in high flow systems. BAD.
