Ok so in this video I am going to post you'll see a small rock. This is the only piece of rock that I got live and I've found a bunch of bristle worms in and under it. I haven't seen a bristle worm in months now but recently I found this... I have yet to actually identify this...and it's still in my tank living in this rock. Just tonight while looking at my tank after lights out I ran into this...you'll have to watch closely in this video.

The subject in question is very hard to see but it's at the top edge of the Ricordea and it pulls away as I shine light on it. I dunno what this could be.

And also something that seems a little less like an alien



I dunno what this is lol.

Thanks for your help

Top is a brittle star IMO...
Bottom is some type of algae/calurpae???

after looking at the video 4 or 5 times that unidentified object looks like a pod the long tentacle looks to be a serpent star IMO

Thanks everyone! So my next question is would you recommend removing these??

not sure what this is still waiting on my new glasses possibly but not 100% could be a squirt

but the other 2 if they are what I am thinking there fine

I'm starting to noticed quiet a bit of these vermetid snails around my tank now. Not sure if their presences matters or not but I've found maybe 5-6.

i'd get rid of them before they spread dab them with gel crazy glue
with my new glasses that brown glob looks like a stominella snail

 

[Beej1254]

Ok I just went through and glued all the spouts of these brown blobs on my rocks...I found most of them to be around my Acan frags and some under my frogspawn. Hopefully I won't have any more because I heard they can really mess up LPS corals.

I don't know if this is coincidence but my corals all seem much happier and fuller today after glueing somewhere around 10-11 of these things nearby.

Thanks for everyone's help!
