That first picture looks a little like what I had. It was some type of worm with a feather duster type head. I eventually stopped seeing them. Tried identifying them using the hitch hiker guide but couldn't find anything close enough to say, that's it.

Could be vermetid snail? They generally only spit out that when you are feeding.

The pictures are pretty blurry, it could be spaghetti worms which are harmless detrivores.

I didn't see the short spiky branches like the pictures of Digitate Hydroids and don't see any tubes like vermetid snails. I will try to get better pictures Thanks for all the suggestions.
