The Bottom one is just a lobster, and the dog like thing is a Tasmanian Tiger.
Tasmanian Tiger's are actually just extinct, not really rare.
Also, that looks like a whip scorpion/whip spider, not sure which kind though.
What is this for though... most of these are pretty easy to figure out by just searching for the higher orders (which are obvious for most of them) |

As i_feel_tiredsleepy asked, what's this for? I can give you a few but if it's homework of some sort you should really do it yourself.

You're good. 
Fitting name. That creature's so easy on the eyes it hurts.
EDIT: #7 looks alot like gooseneck barnacles to me, but not the kind I'm familiar with (which have a long chubby neck and many disorganized plates). I can easily believe a barnacle species as pictured. |

Yeh. AFAIK those tentacles are supposed to be retractable in the case of tube worms.

On second look, the stalks are just too small. I've wrenched up "dock worms" (same thing) as bait - the fat worm occupies most of its tube.
What are sea lilies? |

I'm going with jellyfish, though I could be completely mistaken.

Yes, number 5 is sea lillies - crinoids, to be more precise. They are a class of echinoderms, so they're related to starfish and sea urchins.

7 is barnacles, 9 is some sort of moth, possibly a hawkmoth.
These are tubeworms, btw:

As long as everyone else is...
The first one sort of resembles a skeleton shrimp to me...but it's...pregnant...or something. (joking, but I'm not sure why it's so round in the middle ) Number two is a peacock mantis shrimp as GUY said, number three is a Daphnia, as Jane Bennet said, 4 is a Tasmanian tiger, as i_feel_tiredsleepy said, 5 aren't jellyfish...if you look at the one in the lower left you'll notice they're attached to the rock, which jellyfish wouldn't be, 6 does look like a sea cucumber, though I'm not completely sure on that, 7 are probably some sort of barnacle, as has been stated, I'm pretty sure I can confirm for i_feel_tiredsleepy that 8's a whip scorpion, 9's a moth of some sort, and 10's a lobster of some sort... I knew a lot of those, I'm sorry I didn't answer sooner because now it looks like I'm copying everyone else. I'm not though, honestly.

I am intrigued by the moth, which everyone seems to have the most difficulty identifying.

I can see that the abdomen has been removed (possibly for dissection under a microscope). But what’s happened the head? Looks like it’s been beaten flat with a shovel (or the equivalent of a shovel to a moth). 
And where are the antennae? And are we looking at the insect from the underside (i.e. is it a “ventral” view)?
