From what I can see in the pics, I feel they are Foraminiferans. I believe they are harmless filter feeders, you can check out more pics on this site: Indo Pacific Hitch Hikers

It looks like a closed pulsating xenia to me :)

They are called corynactis or pseudocorynactis

Corynactis californica for the first pic ;)

They look like tube (spirorbid) worms....not a bad thing to have :)

Yea that's what I'm worried about...it spreading on him or others in the tank if it's not just a scratch. Thank you for the feedback!

It doesn't look above the skin but will a cut wrap around his eye like that? Its like a perfect half circle...

Could this be head and lateral line erosion disease?

Which is also the same thing as a banded snake eel so nevermind... sorry :ermm:

The Harlequin Eel looks very similar to yours, he has the fin on top.

Oh :) well that is exciting! I just found a couple bristle stars in my tank! I love finding new stuff.

I have quite a few in my tank and they have never bothered anything. From what I read they do some cleaning up for you.

From the pics I see the one with the pink base looks like a strawberry anemone. Some type if corynactis or pseudocorynactis. Look it up to be sure!

It sounds like a worm of some type. From my experience in cycling you will notice all sorts of new life in your tank. I have tubeworms and some kind of snails that have these same hair-like features and I have been told they are not bad :)

I had a problem with algae because of flow as well, I bought a circulation fan wave maker thing. It helped tons! Good to know about the UV sterilizer! Sorry about the suggestion :-/

Oh alright. I have done lots of research on them and they are great for eliminating algae, parasites, diseases, etc.; without elimination of the good bacteria. Just trying to help ;)

Do you have a UV sterilizer?

Corynactis or pseudocorynactis

You are welcome :D I am learning all kinds of new stuff by trying to help answer!
