The second photo is Spirorbid worms. They are beneficial filter feeders. I also think the first one is a Stomatella. Does it look like the photo with a small semi-flat shell on it's back?

Stomatellas will breed in the reef too. Their population will flourish and fade according to how much food is in the tank. Nice to have a self-adjusting clean up crew.
