Hi all....just wondering what species of slug this is...I am thinking its a brown sea slug....but I am only 10 weeks new at this, so it's just a guess. I didn't buy it, so it must have been stowed away in my live rock that I boughtImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1422154298.121671.jpg

Limpet is your sea slug. Took me much searching through my stuff to ID it from the similar one I had in my tank back in 2012.
Then you have 2 receding brain corals, I think Favia as they do not share walls.
The guys with the tentacles are aiptasia, glass anemone. They are a pest and need removed with a product like aiptasia-x, joe's juice, or injecting the mouth with boiling water or lemon juice.

Thank you good sir...I will try the lemon juice first, then if no good get onto some real poison. While I have your ear, seems I have acquired a pencil urchin on some new rock. Are they any good or bad for anything?

Glad it is working out for you. There are several things in the hobby that will get you looks. The look when you are in checkout with 15 gallons of water filling an entire cart...the look when you ask for ONE cocktail shrimp...
