Pros-Good cleaner Cons- grows large and tends to knock over rocks and corals that are not well secured. Also known as "bulldozers" lol.

Most likely a type of sponge. As tanks mature things like this will come and go. No pros, no cons either.

The top pic I assume- the red thing looks like it has an eye in that picture to me...? Some type of shrimp, crab or fish.?

Ok, I think the pics are flopped. 1 is 3 and 3 is one?
I agree on the turkey wing but the red tube is a tunicate. Filter feeder and are niether good or bad, they just are.
I agree the turbo is excellent for algae and bottom pic (white thing) looks like a sponge. Again, it's not good or bad, it just is.
