Exactly what do you want us to look at? 
There are mushrooms, an up-side down amphipod in a little hole looking right at the camera, what looks like a little red anemome (can you get another pic of that?) or coral polyp, and what appears to be different types of filter-feeding sponge growth and/or tunicates.
That bottom pic also seems to have a colonial polyp. It's clear with little white tips, right? If it's what I think it is I don't remember their exact name. I believe they actually have a skeleton and are not just "filled with water." Gary M knows. If he doesn't pipe in maybe someone else will be able to offer their expertise.

I agree. The last one is good to have and the forst two are probably bad. They look much like mojano or aptasia anemones.

from the second set of pics
1. is either a cup coral, or a ball anemone (Pseudocorynactis spp.). neither are bad.
if it draws up into a hard skeleton like a coral, then its a cup coral.
if it draws up into a ball like shape, the its an ball anemone. while they are called anemones they are actually Corallimorphs, or mushrooms. heres some info on them http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/oct2002/invert.htm at the bottom.
2. appears to be some type of anemone, i cant tell you what kind. but it doesnt look like one you would want to keep.
3. peanut worm for sure. heres some info on them.
