I have been noticing more and more life in my system as it matures. Pods are every where scurring like ants all over my lr. Then i started noticing sponges today i notice that one of the sponges had ruptured. Then i see what looks like a baby turbo with no shell. Could my turbos ( i have three) mated? Or is this a hitch hiker? If it is... Is it reefsafe?

Ruptured sponge or at least is what i thought.

Look at the center of pic... Baby turbo? Same coloration has anteni and was cleaning the rock.

Secondly i saw this little fellow. The pic is hard to see. It looks like a tiny mem dark yellowish with a tan circle. Has tenticles on ots perimeter and is mobile. Was on a pice of lf put it up high to take pic it closed up on its self and rolled away. Thought i had lost it but it appeared today. It is on the very top of the rocks.

not sure on the sponge

the second pic is a stomatella snail, they look like they have no shells, but they do, good to have and they reproduce like crazy! good cleaners too.

the third i would guess is an aiptasia but you say its mobile so i'm not sure, never heard of the moving before
