Need help identifying stuff on new live rock - see pictures. Thanks

[Nelson]

I just received some live rock to start a reef tank in a 30 gallon
tank. The rock I received had a lot more life on it than I expeceted.
I've been able to identify some of it but not all. If anyone can
look at the following pictures and let me know what some of this stuff
is and if it should stay or go....it would be a huge help......thanks.

Do you know the source of the rock? Is it Florida or the Pacific?

You would really enjoy the book series reviewed here-

Most bookstores stock them and they are invaluable reference!!

There is a nice list here-
