Need help identifying worms

The first and last are spaghetti worms, which are beneficial detritus feeders.  The second is probably a vermetid snail with the coral encrusting over it (may not irritate the coral much, and clearly the coral is still doing well, but people generally don't like them.)

Hard to say for 3 and 4, if they're different, any clearer pics?

Agree with all of this.

The red/pink ones look like spaghetti worms to me still.  They'll have a thicker body and then a cluster of thinner red tentacles for one worm, and usually they'll bury in the rock or sand the short tentacles will come out after dark.
