Looks like a red mushroom and bumblebee snail to me? can someone agree to that?

Spot on, if you ask me. Although I only got my first SW fish and inverts yesterday, I have spent a plethora of hours researching all types of species.

Looks like a rhodactis mushroom and it's definitely a bumble bee snail. Low to medium light and low flow for the shroom

what is "low to medium light"?
I have a 20in Aqueon LED light with 1 daylight bar and 1 colormax bar, is this enough?

Doubtful, are you trying for a reef tank? If so what size tank and we can get you some lighting suggestions.

I wanted a FOWLR tank but I was planning on maybe 2-3 mushrooms or other low lights once it was running for 3-4 months.. and its a 10g tank(but im a little low on money because I also have a 46g Lake
Tanganyika African chiclid tank)

The 10g has only been setup Four days now..

4 days? That snail will end up dying sorry to tell you. The mushroom might make it out alive. Your tank has a lot of cycling to do.

Inverts are very sensitive to ammonia spikes and that is exactly what's going to happen to your tank in the upcoming weeks. Good luck

well not my tank, but yeah i realize inverts are sensitive but you just never know in this hobby, stranger things have happened haha!

It wont necessarily take weeks for the ammonia spike to happen, in my 55g tank it only took 4 days for the spike to start.
