First these tiny little moving creatures. They look almost translucid and they move. They look like very tiny snails. Sometimes there are two of them seemingly stuck together, sometimes they are alone.

It’s hard to see but that’s the best I can do. I don’t see them during the day. They are less than half the size of a green pea.

Then this curious looking thing. Some kind of sponge with tentacles ?

Thanks for your help !

The snails are hard to see in your pics, but I’d look up Collonista snails (Collonista snails are generally considered good CUC). The other things are sponges - harmless filter feeders. Some sponges grow in those little tentacle shapes (sometimes they grow more ball-like from there, but sometimes that little tube is the final shape).

Keep an eye on sponges as they can emerge and spread and snails are either turban or collanista but leaning towards collanista which multiply like mice but safe. Due to their small size end up in plumbing, pump inlets, etc

I’ve looked at pictures and they don’t really look like either. I’ve seen baby trochus snails while searching and that looks more like it.

I do have trochus snails. And others; here is the list :

Nassarius
trochus
cerith
Strawberry conch
turbo

Could it be any of them ?

Cerith maybe but also nerite.
