Do you have any idea what the organism close to center in picture 3 might be? It's interesting.

A type of flagellated protist and I would say a type of Anisonema sp.

They are very cool. They can hook onto things with the longer flagela and quickly pull itself back if it needed to.

That's a lot of worms in that one shot! I like the copepod (?) on the side, too. Have you bought any small animal cultures to add, or did these come with live rock?
