No offense intended but edit your spelling before posting next time, it was hard to decipher. I am sure you just wrote too fast and slipped on the keyboard as we all do. Ok the pictures are not good so let's see if I can help you.

The first picture looks like some type of small anemone or mushroom polyp so for now (unless it begins to take over your tank don't worry about it). It will probably die as you are setting up a FOWLR tank.

Second picture looks like bristle worms. If they are dead your problem is solved if some survived no big deal plenty of fish out there love their taste.

Third picture looks like several kinds of coraline or the like, harmless and again will probably die as you are setting up a FOWLR.

Expect some die off from the rocks so just monitor your water params. Good luck and I hope I helped a little.
