Can't make really see the red thingy properly, can you describe it?

Number 5 is not a Greater Pipefish or any pipefish of any kind. It is a goby of some sort, I would advise looking at Sand Goby, Common Goby or possibly Two-Spot Goby and seeing if any of these match.

[Littlesparrow]

Sand Goby and Two Spotted Goby, both live in rock pools Both have a silvery sheen. the Greater Pipefish also lives in rock pools with patchy colouring, and have a long thin nose, so you need a good look at the head.

[Littlesparrow]

I have had a look at the photos on Google and the greater Pipefish look too long even without a good look at the head, Sand Goby appear much darker in some of the photos than in my book so no.3 could be a dark sang Goby?
