Hello and welcome :)
Gratz on the new tank! Please do not add ten more fish to your tank, it will not be able to handle it. Remember that most fish stores are out to sell fish and some do not give two hoots if the fish dies. Kill the aiptasia with aiptasia x ASAP those bad boys arent pretty when they start to take over the tank. The first picture may be (kinda hard to tell) colonial hydroids which are very bad.
If they are in fact colonial's they will be impossible to get rid of, and spread fairly quickly. Had a few in my tank and the only way i got rid of them was to remove the rock that had them on it. (tried aiptasia x, boiling water, physical removal, and a propane torch and every time they came back with a vengance.)
I would worry about the well water because i assume you are still getting the water from the same water source even thought you are on a hill. RO/DI really is the way to go.
That being said, best of luck! There are plenty of great articles on this site and liveaquaria.com has great info on fish.
If you grab it it will shred, each piece grows into a new one..
