These snails have been in the tank a couple months. I'm assuming these are a sponge and tube worm. But would love a second opinion.

Two kinds of “tube worms” are common hitchhikers, you have a good feather duster that I can see, but I would caution you to watch for the other tube worm snails that feed by fishing with mucus webs. They can multiply and annoy coral, or the thin evil ones will poke holes into your hands when you bump into them.

My
Brain is completely foggy and I can’t recall the name of the evil ones, Satan Worms ain’t it :cool: :face-with-thermometer: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
