PLEASE ID THESE FISH and Feather Duster....

I picked them up at my LFS weeks ago. I didn't write the whole name down, I do remember some of it though.

The orange one is an 'inca' something or other.

The violet one was a 'strawberry' something or other.

The feather duster showed up on a rock I picked up from someone breaking their tank down, and selling livestock and softies.
It wasn't there for over 2 months, then began to grow on a piece of LR that had discoma mushrooms on it.

I don't have my anthias book in front of me, but I suspect the first is Pseudanthias hypselosoma.

The second is Pseudochromis porphyreus.

The third picture appears to be one of the feather Caulerpas...I'd guess Caulerpa sertularioides or C. taxifolia, but I'm far from an algae identification expert. It's definitely an algae and not a feather duster, however.
 
The 3rd a Macro algae? Probably right. It doesn't have a single base stalk, as I've seen other feather dusters have.
 
Anthias and Dottyback...... last is a macro algae.. might be bad might good. I don't algae that well but do know that's what it is.

by the way beautiful Anthias
 
Thanks to all replies!

Looks as though
Stocky Anthias
Strwberry Basslet
and a type of calupera macro algae.

I changed my sig for it
