Thanks guys!

What is this on my rock work ?? Got it on a few places. Never had this before

Does it have any sort of texture to it? (hard/soft) Right off the bat I want to say a Hydnophora, but I don't think this is correct. Can you get another shot of it without the blues on?

I'll try when I get home. But I know it's not hydnophora. Look like lil amneones

I messed with it in photoshop and it's a polyp/anemone of some sort, as I can see the mouth, but I couldn't get enough of the blue out of it too see more than that.

Bad picture but can someone tell me if this is reef safe? Looks like a brittle star...

Can anyone tell me what these little clear sacks are on the back wall of my display tank. Thanks

Yes, it is.

Maybe a rock flower anemone?

Nerite snail eggs perhaps?

Can I kill it?

 

[cloak]

I don't really have any first hand experience with these things, but some people do consider them a welcomed addition. You might want to do a little bit more research before you decide to kill it. GL.

Any one have an id on this snail type critter...

 

[Lionfish Lair]

If you can see little holes in the shell, it's an Abalone. If there's no holes, it's a stomatella.

Just got a zoa and found these two snails. One brownish and tan, the other grayish and white. The second one looks sorta like a sundial but the shell shape is off. Small shells compared to the body size. What are they and what do they eat?..... Need to invest in a close up lens for the camera. Hitchhikers are always so small...

Wow! @chumleetm It's a bristleworm. Amazed it comes out when you feed.....personally, I don't think it's good to have. There are so many other scavengers that are better, but this is my personal opinion.
