    Chalices are very difficult to ID unless they are a common species with a common name like hollywood stunner for example. The pictured posted of it looks like its pretty overexposed so there isnt much color to go off of. A better picture would definitely help the cause. The second is definitely a zoa eating nudi. They will change their colors to match the zoa they are eating I believe so its trying to camouflage itself. Dip that frag as soon as you can. They are pretty easy to get rid of IME but their presence can really halt zoa growth. The last picture seems to be a spaghetti worm. Harmless hitchhiker.
