first and last pics look like some type of scale worm possibly in the Lepidonotus family. unfortunitly i cant realy find any info on their habits, just pics.

the 3rd pic looks like some type of Eunicid Worm. if so they can get huge. best bet would be removing it. but let someone chime in before you do.

Thanks for your help, keep it coming, I just want to know what I need to remove that could harm my reef in the future.

Agreed on the Lepidonotus.

Third pic is a bristle worm. The CAN get big but are harmless.
