hitch hiker id

Can someone identify what coral is growing right under the leather? It looks like Xenia. If thats what it is, I need to figure out a way to get rid of it. It showed up on the base of this coral that I got.

Purchased some live rock from KP aquatics about 3 weeks ago and was trying to spot and catch a possible gorilla crab but I found this instead. I think it is a fire worm but not sure as it could maybe be a bristle worm too. Anyone have any ideas? Sorry for the loud noise in the video it is the...

I found these in the shells I got from my lfs. I’m not sure if there are more in my fish tank. I found three. Should I be worried?

Hello Everyone, So I am currently concerned but not too concerned about these weird pests that I have found living on my Zoa Coral. I am not sure exactly what they are but I would like to figure that out sooner then later. This way I can take care of it if needed. So far from what I have...

I've noticed alot of these small red sea slugs all over my tank recently (they look yellow under the microscope, red to my eyes) anyone know what they are? I've attached pictures taken under 50x magnification any input would be great! Thank you!

Hello, I recently started noticing 2 small white centipede like “bugs” on the glass of my tank. They have antennaes, many “feet” like a centipede, move slowly, and are completely white. The bugs are very small but still bigger than pods. My tank has been fallow for 8 weeks now following a...

I currently have this mussel looking thing growing in the glass of my tank. I’ve never had anyone before. Is this safe to leave in my tank? Will it become invasive?

Hey all can you tell me mayhaps what these are? I hope harmless little filter feeders. They retract when annoyed. Thanks!! OneMerissa

I found my six line wrasse and green chromis MIA a month ago, and yesterday night I found this thing in my living rock, its a kick in my balls to get it out (no fish so I used the brute way:freshwater bathed the living rock for around 3-4 mintues).looks kinda like gorilla crab,this crab is...

ID what’s living inside the Acantho and how I can get rid of it. Bivalve clam? Burrowing clam? Is it a worm? how do I get rid of it.

This hitchhiker has two tentacles which some of them may be stripped,and a few of them grows somehow big (2cm long I guess?).In past I ounly found them on living rocks,recently they appear on my dead rocks too.I think this creature should have a pair of tentacles since I always see two of them...

I found this in my aquarium i while ago I was told it is a porcelain but if so what type? Doesn’t look like an I have ever seen before it’s an almost brown color with two front claws but also the feathers that it uses to filter feed. I have a much better photo and or video I think that I will...

Hi! Could someone please help me identify what this is? It’s in my sisters tank and I’m stumped! TIA

Found a snail with this on him. Can anyone tell me what this might be?

I need an ID on these hitchhiker corals and bacteria. I’m fairly new so I need to know whether they are reef safe and also how to exterminate if not Dark algae spots. Circular white spots all over main rock Small polyps above and around Aptasia anemone? Asterina starfish I’m waiting to...

Hi! I noticed a nasty lil worm thing moving, inching its way out of a hole in the rock. Obviously I was curious to see what the heck it was so I turned the tank light on and it shrunk back in the hole. I'm new to saltwater tank keeping so I just want to make sure this isn't a harmful parasite of...

I've got a 10 gallon frag tank that's been up and running for nearly 2 months now. Inside are just some basic softies: GSP, Eagle Eye ZoaK, Kenya Tree, and a few others. I added some new coral from my LFS a couple days ago and now this little blobish critter is cruising around my glass. I had...

Hey what’s up guys! I’m new to R2R and this is going to be my second reef tank. I bought several live rocks from the LFS at around $11 a pound and I’ve noticed several hitchhikers from Feather Dusters, Digitate Hydroids, brittle stars and I have seen a slug try to catch a ride on one of my green...

Just noticed some little additions that I hadn’t seen before. Does anyone know what my little hitchhikers are and if they are dangerous? Thought maybe Asterina, not sure what the others are near my mushrooms thanks in advance for any help!

Can anyone tell me what this is? It started growing on a base live rock for a cave, so it does not have much light. It doesn’t move or retract when you touch it.

Posted are a few photos of what I believe to be either spionid worms or vermetid snails. I am leaning towards the spionid worms because I have not seen any “web like” material come out of the end, but if anyone knows please let me know? if they are spionid worms, are they harmless? Thank you!

Hello all! These three were hitching on some frags I bought today...are any of them worth keeping? Thanks in advance! I'm very new to this
