Fifth from last is a zoanthids or palythoa. Fourth from last is either a zoa or a snake polyp I think.

Fourth from beginning is a stomatella (a type of snail).
 
First one is aptasia. 2nd is hydroids. 3rd could be a ball anemone need a better pic. 4th looks like a stomatella snail. 5th not sure. Does it move? 6th are zoa's. 7th looks to be sponges. 8th can't tell what needs to be ID. 9th looks like flatworm. 10 is a bristle worm.
 
1-Aptasia
2- Hydroid
3 -Copepod
4- Stomatella snail
5-Hurtin Lobophilia, with feeders out???
6-Zoanthids
7-leather frag or sponge
8-Red is algae, Black is sponge, I believe
9-Flatworm or Nudibranch
10- Bristleworm
 
You will want to get rid of the Aptasia and the flatworm, both pests. If its actually a Nudibranch, you'll want to isolate it until you can research more about whether it's harmful or not.
 
The 9th is not a flatworm. It is a Chiton.
Im guessing it only shows itself at night? I have roughly 3 of them and they make great cleaners for your rock. Do not remove it.
