Correct. Digitate hydroids are the dangerous ones and not these little guys.

No, barnacles are crustaceans and sporibid worms are polychaetes.

No. They are different. Here's a great article on medusa's. Aquarium Invertebrates

Only a scientist can correctly ID between Scypha vs Leucilla and they require a microscope to do it. Doesn't matter....they're both harmless. Another common name for both of them is a pineapple sponge.

Don't know much more about them except that they're a nuisance and can sting neighboring corals. SPS corals are more sensitive to their stings than soft corals. Either way, I'd take a pair of tweezers and remove as many as you can.

Not really. Are you doing anything to rid yourself of the dinos?
