Ok been a while but i need an ID and advice.What kind of snail is this?
Top pic....aiptasia. Nasty little critters. Hit the search function as it seems that everyone has a favorite method of getting rid of them.
Middle pic....spirorbid polychaetes. Harmless (actually helpful) filter feeders whose populations will wax and wane depending on available nutrients. I've attached a macro of them.
Third pic...cerith snail. They will often bury themselves in the sandbed or leave the water altogether. Don't worry about that. They live in intertidal areas and when low tide hits, they are out of the water. Good cleaner.
