I have some hitch hikers and am wondering what they are and if they are good.
Anyone help with an ID it would be much appreciated

#2 are soft corals, either green star polyps or clove polyps (they seem to be coated with cyanobacteria so it's hard to discern which of the above corals they actually are, but probably clove polyps).
Guesses:
#1 some sort of crab
#2 some sort of sea cucumber or nudibranch
Not sure how harmful #1 and #3 or, if at all. Both are scavengers by trade.

I agree with kaybee. Not sure if they are good or bad though, as I'm not totally familiar with the species.
Were did the rock originate from?

Not sure of the origin as I got it 30+lbs for $30 off craigslist.
Lots of really neat life on this rock.
What a score huh?!

Not the common arrow crab but with frilly featherlike feet and spikeys all
over his legs.
They were cheap and was told they will eat bristle worms.
def looks like arrow crab but maybe like a deckerator (cant spell) crab
