    New critter! Good or bad?

    It's gray and definitely has some little feelers coming out of it. Moving really slow. I noticed a bunch of white spots the other day. Could it be a baby snail? Nothing new has been added to the tank except two peppermint shrimp, that i was told were pregnant... or full of eggs. I took a little...

    Found in sand bed, please help?

    I found this in the sand bed and don’t know what it is. After removing it, I noticed that the red strings are moving in the cup. I thought this was some type of algae? There are a couple of places near the bottom of rock that these red strings are, but I don’t see them attached to anything...

    Critter ID

    Hello! I’m completely new to having a saltwater tank and I’m trying to learn as much as possible. The other day I got a feather duster (been in my tank for 3 days) and today I saw this little guy crawling on him. Looks like a really tiny snail but I’m not sure.

    Micro Bristle Stars?

    So I have these white what looks like starfish to me, almost like micro bristle stars, but I'm not sure. They don't seem like asterina's because they're legs are longer and thinner from what I can tell. There's quite a few on the glass I see every few days or so. Anybody know for sure?

    Can anyone pls help: ID’ing small white critter building hard spiral tube on rocks

    Hi does anyone have an ideas as to what this is? The two antennae are actually part of the critter itself, whereas the rest of the spiral-structure is the “home” it builds (which is quite hard / like a shell — about 1cm diameter). obv my first concern is whether they’re harmful or just...

    This weird dude won’t stop reproducing in my tank

    I’ve had this guy as long as I’ve had live rock (almost a year). He’s big, ugly, and I’m pretty sure he’s trying to reproduce in my tank. Slithers around on my rocks and eats algae, I haven’t had an issue with him yet. What is he??

    Does anyone know what these little buggers are? They are very, very tiny. This is the best photo I could do on my phone. They seem to multiplying rather quickly.
