Sorry theres algea on the glass. Been hell here latly.
 
Hard to tell what on the torch. The other could be a stomatella snail. They have a single dome like shell.
 
Is it that snail a danger? I would assume it eats algea as it was on the glass and all over the rock. Its kinda greyish in color. I will try to get a better pic of the torch.
 
Is this pic any better? And he always srivels up like this when I first turn on the lights than about 10-20 MIN later is fully back out. Is that just him adjusting from night to light?

They're no danger. A good member of CUC.

It looks to me like the same snail on the torch just from those pictures.
 
Hard to tell from the picture, but It appears to be a Q-tip or pineapple sponge. The other is a stomatella snail. Both are harmless.

I googled pineapple sponge and its correct thank you. And I'm relieved its harmless
