The first is possibly a Vermetid Snail
The second - not sure :)
The third does look like an amphipod shell. They do moult as seen in this video
But, your shell seems more intact compared to this video :confused:
And for the last one, and I do feel a bit embarrassed asking this, but we really need a better picture of your vagina :eek

The 1st shell casing i saw, i actually glimpsed something with long feelers pushing it out the hole opening. I wondered at the time whether something was growing or clearing away lunch & if the latter, hoped it might be a mantis :)

You have no idea how tempted I was to call it a Blue Waffle.....But it's not blue and not as amusing *sniggers*
Can't get any closer shots as it's very small (a virgin, as it were). I'm guessing it's another tunicate.

More purple tunicate, i think (above)
The little corals are looking like GSP since they have a tiny bit of green in their centres

What sort of algae/marine flora is transparent electric blue?

Some research online indicates my electric blue macro is Dictoyota Dictoma - aka Brown Fork Algae. Apparently it doesnt stay blue :( And apparently something in my tank loves snacking on it coz the bit in the pic i posted has disappeared :(
