I have a 10 gal salt water tank, 5 lbs of live rock, live sand, 4 hermit crabs, 2 clownfish, 1 green damsel, ph is around 8.1, ammonia/nitrite 0, nitrate between 0 to 5 ppm. Had a slug, snail, dragonate, 3 other damsels all died in the tank. I change about 3 gallons of water per month, filter once so far. Water temps is around 74, led lighting 8 to 12 hrs a day(I know 12 is too much =) ), pump is a 30.

Had the tank close to 3 month or so, notice recently these slug/worm type of thing on e glass of my tank. I took 3 out I have at least 1 more. I have no idea what it is, good or bad. I also have these green things growing out of one of the live rocks. Your help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hard to see on my phone but first pics look like stomatella snails or possibly Nudibranch. . Google it & see if it looks like it. If stomalellas they are a beneficial part of your CUC. Nudis usually look like what they eat and can be coral eaters or helpful like Aptasia eaters, hard to know. Green stuff might be some macro but I can't tell on the phone.

Thank you, you are right it is Stomatella Snails guess they are not bad for your tank =) Thank god, cause they look really nasty!

The macro im searching thank you! wouldn't have known either one of them if you didn't give these recommendations:fish2:
 
Don't put any more fish in either. Youre still overstocked and were wayyy overstocked with the other 4 fish. 10 gal tank won't support a manderin either.
What type of LEDs ? Not Marineland I hope.
