Are these airplants? They originally came in a terrarium.

No. Succulents.

They are not. You should give them their own individual pots and repot them with cactus and succulent mix. I swear by Espoma’s Organic Cactus and Succulent Mix for mine. Please Avoid Miracle Grow’s soil for these, as it isn’t well-draining enough. Bottom-water them and allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Hope this helps!

Looks like the thin mossy stuff on the outside could possibly be airplants (or a moss I'm not familiar with), but the main plants in the center are definitely succulents

It looks like the succulents are surrounded by Spanish moss which is an air plant.  
I would consider removing it from the succulents as the moss will require more water than the succulents.  
Spanish moss can make a really cool clumping/trailing bundle. I’ve seen it hung on shelves or even large plants!
