Few Things popped up this week

So the first one, this little blue guy moves for one. Not very quickly mind you he'd moved about 1/2 an inch or so over the past day. Not entirely sure where its going or where it even came from for that matter.

The second here, almost looks like coral? It just kind of showed up one day as a little red blotch and has grown a little bit since then. Surely not something I added, and its surely not something that was well there before far as I could tell at least. Guess it could have just been really small.

I got another reply on a different forum saying it appeared to be a less annoying version of the Asterina starfish so I shouldn't have to worry about it nibbling on coral, hope thats true, If not I kind of wanted a harlequin shrimp anyways so it might give me an excuse to get one then a second starfish to feel bad for cause I wind up chopping its toes off to feed my shrimp or somethin... But guess as long as the starfish doesn't start eating things it shouldn't eat, I'll just leave it be for now. The second. I think its location just makes it very difficult to get a decent picture of.

Someone said they thought it was a Vermetid snail, my research on those made me believe that probably wasn't the case. So number two is still a mystery

Gonna see if I can't get a better picture of the second little thing tomorrow try using the other camera see if I can't zoom in a bit closer or something. It doesn't quite look like a Foram from my googlage, kind of looks like a sponge, kind of looks like Monte.. Kind of looks like a few things really, but I haven't a clue what. Tomorrow though I'll see if I can't snag a better view, might just pick up the darn rock not like I've started attaching the zoanthids yet, kind of waiting to get the anemone, thought is maybe if I let it pick its spot I can kind of place the zoa's accordingly.
