Default New invert and pink worm identified?

Hi,

I have been setting up my saltwater tank, coral reef, for about 2-3 weeks now.

Today when I checked out my tank, I saw a small pinkish worm, about 5cm.
What kind of worm is it and is it harmful to my tank?

Also, on the glass of my tank, I saw some invert, yellow in clolor and a red dot. It is very small in sizes, about .5mm - 1mm, I think. What are they?

Can anyone identify these suspecious inverts for me?

Thank you very much.

The one with the red dot might be red planaria (brown/red flatworm). Pinkish worm you're gonna have to provide a picture to guess on the invertebrate.
