Got my rubble rock from TBS today and there’s a couple things I don’t know what it is. Got it sitting in the fuge for awhile until I see everything on it. The picture with two circles has three longish clear tentacles coming out and feeling around, the other two pics I’m just wondering if it’s mojano or some other sort of anemone.

Go to TBSW website and click on hitch hikers. This will show you most of what will come on the rocks.

I can't remember what it's called, but I had them on mine and are harmless. Clear with a green tint and kinda looks like a strange aptaisia

Also took a delivery of rubble from TBS today. Do you know what these are?

White and open up to shoot out what I can only describe as a tongue (new to this whole reef thing). Circled in yellow.

Thank you! In my head barnacles are much larger than that. I guess they are officially the first living thing in my tank besides bacteria lol.
some people say they don’t last long in the hobby and other folks say they do just fine if you keep particulates in your water. I routinely feed live phyto and coral gumbo for my corals and the barnacles on an astrea snail and on my fighting conch are still going strong after 3 months

Next question is this. This is in my display tank and appears to only come out at night. It looks like a long piece of stringy algae, but it’s something alive because it will yank back 3 or 4 times, as if you’re tugging on a rope, back into the rocks, then slowly come back out and start again

I'd love to know what those are too! I have several. They are very small, delicate, clear and have a reddish circle around the mouth. I didn't notice for the longest time but they have 2 sweeper tentacles that reach out a good 2 inches, which is a lot for how small they are. When retracted, the 2 sweepers look less clear and sorta white. I've had my tank set up for 4 months and in that time they have not grown even a little bit.
