Two more IDs please.

The first picture is of a coral I bought yesterday. The LFS told me the name but I asked so many other questions it pushed that right out of my head. Ok, so there isn't a lot room in there.

The second is something I spotted just a minute ago that I have never seen before. Any ideas? Good or Bad?

Thanks,

i would say the first pic looks like star polyps but i thought they always had a purple mat so thats confusing me lol

Thanks Hack. I am also uploading a better picture of the other hoochymoggle. Seems like I have seen a picture of something like that before but I got no idea.

Thanks for the id. I will check into it.

Theyre just filter feeders. The only way I know is to super glue them shut to kill them if you don't like the way they look. I just don't have tht much patience to get rid of them all.. Or super glue for that matter. Haha

The coral is an encrusting gorgonian.

The other does look like a vermetid snail. The web they shoot can annoy some corals.
