1. Some kind of isopod. I'd be a little bit leery of this one, some are parasitic on fish.
2. Some kind of macroalgae. 3. Hydroids. Although technically not as bad as some things, not great because they spread, are unsightly, and sometimes can sting corals.

If you're referring to the brownish algae in #2 then it looks like Sargassum sp starting...not usually an algae you want. The green algae in that photo is green hair algae which can be quite a nuisance to be rid of. The other two I agree with Tony.

Sargassum's not so bad .. at least I think it has a neat look to it. It looks wicked in a refugium, like a miniature/bonsai kelp forest.
 But it does just tend to grow and grow. You can pull it out though. It's not like caulerpa that pretty much needs armageddon to completely eradicate it. If you remove the holdfast of sargassum (the root like part that attaches to the rock) then it's pretty much gone forever. If you want to keep it you can just cut it down, as long as you leave the bottom part it might come back.
