Assorted Hitchhikers - Snails, Flatworms, Nudibranch, Algae

[Sethnick99]

Hi All,

I set up two Petri dish tanks during CoVid and ordered some KP Aquatics live rock. Largely these tanks are just to see what comes out of the rock
Any identification or confirmation of my ID's is appreciated:

Snails:

1. Baby Astrea Snail? (15x Lens)
   
   
2. Baby Nessarius Snail?
   
   
   
   ((15x Lens))
3. Possible Whelk - Eats algae:
   
   
4. Another Possible Whelk (Image 2 has a keyhole limpet in it and the back of the same snail):
   
   
   
   
   
   

Worms, Flatworms, and Nudibranches

1. Berghia Nudibranch? (15x Lens)
   
   
   
2. Unidentifed Flatworm 1(15x Lens):
   
   
   
3. Unidentified Flatworm 2(15x Lens)
   
   
4. Unidentified Flatworm 3(15x Lens)
   
   
5. Bristle Worm - Definitely a bristle worm, but posting it because I think it's cool
   
   

Random

1. Tunicate - several colonies of these, just curious if anyone knows what species.
   
   
2. Unidentified Bivalve
   
   
3. Macro Algae - the little green Christmas tree like ones, not the mermaids wineglass.
   
   
   
   
4. Macro Algae? (on snails shell)

Love that idea! I have spare 10 gallon and may do the same. I upgraded my tank and used all dry rock and I miss all the life and random critters.

I completely recommend it. It's so cool

I had an extra 10 and a Fluval EVO5. My nephews and nieces came back from vacation with random creatures that I tossed in them.

We were having so much fun I placed an order with Tampa Bay Aquatics and picked up a used Biocube. Sadly, that order is on hold due to unforeseen circumstances It came with some minimal live rock and corals that got moved into the Petri Dishes (hence the hair algae).

After running for 3 days the front right side cracked! Guess I have to find something to put my Tampa Bay order in

That's honestly my favorite part. I was going to combine into

Awesome idea! I have a move coming up, but I have a extra tank and I really want to use live rock for the second 125 I am planning on setting up after the move.

Love this idea, by the way the algae on the snail may be Rhodopeltis sp
