That worm thing doesn't look good, I would get rid of it, chop it up, and feed it to my fish and shrimp.

But I have no idea what that first thing is, is it hard? Squishy? Does it move around or is it attached to the rock?

The first thing looks like a worm snail. is it in a hard shell? Worm snails are very common in FL and they are interesting, they feed by putting out slimy mucus strings that catch food then they reel it in and feed on the food that is stuck to the thred. If it is mobile or not a hard shell, I have no idea what it is.

just to let you all know, the twisty thing is hard shelled, and now you mention it i have seen it with a fine silk like thread coming out of the top , is it safe should i remove it ?
the other thing i found hiding on my urchin after buying it, and promptly removed and got rid,

the first is a vermetid snail, they are ugly but harmless

the two others are bristle worms of some type.

the bottom one. is it always with the urchin?

 

[ukpoduk]

the snail adds a little colour to the tank so he can stay,
i only ever saw the worm around the mouth of the urchin , first time i saw it i removed it and killed it

Those critters look pretty cool. Any other pictures of the snail - perhaps from a different angle ?

The vermetid snails can be distributive towards zoanthids. If there away from them there ok but they can have a slime like web cast out that looks out of place for a reef. There were casting out and it was getting all over my PRPE.
