critter ID please

Found these little buggers the other day. Can anyone tell me what they are and are they ok or are they bad? I searched the hitchhiker thread and don't really see anything that looks like them.

Also, the third pic is I believe a bristle worm - but can someone confirm that for me. It's so tiny. 20130407_210615-1.jpg

+1 to chitons, they are fairly slow at eating algae but still a cool animal to have a round and in no way dangerous or predatory.
The second picture is a bristle worm, they are good, great member of the clean up crew.
