 Those small snails I don't know what they are. I had a bunch on some live rock I bought but bleached it so there gone. Some sort lf limpet snail I'm super OCD with putting anything unknown in my tank I go over everything with dental tools and flashlight, replug any frags and don't add any rocks to my tank. Bleach, peroxide, coral dip, iodine, dettol are my friends.  | 
		
 The snails on on snail been for over 3 months and same thing with algae but  it hasn't spread anywhere else

 The small hitchhiking snails are "slipper snails"

 The algae looks like bryopsis as mentioned above.  There is a lengthy post in regard to it taking over tanks and treatment options.  IMHO I would discard the rock and pickup a new Piece of LR.  I have learned the hard way with a chunk of LR with aptasia.  You will end up spending a lot of time and money trying to remove bryopsis.  Hopefully you find the answer you want in moving forward.
