Ok thanks I thought it might be that but I still had to confirm it. I check up on my tank daily a couple weeks ago I spotted an aipstatia anemone I injected it with boiling water and then bought 2 peppermint shrimp haven't seen any since ?
I appreciate the help ?

That's a Stomatella, if I'm not mistaking. It's a type of snail that feeds on algae. It's a keeper! I got two myself! ?

Can anyone identify this? I have 2 of them in my tank, the other one is brown striped, when I touched one it curled up on my finger. They came from my new live rock

New I'd I'm not sure I think it's an Astrea star but I've never seen one look this nice before is this an Astrea or some other kind of starfish? I found him on my rock during a water change.ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1472857667.115667.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1472857705.601628.jpg
