Good or Bad???

[Jmart]

Not sure what any of this is or if it's bad or not anyone know what these are and what I should do??? Thanks

I have to be honest. I don't know what I'm looking at... But as far as I can tell there was nothing outright bad in any of the pics. I saw what I believe was a snail, some closed up torches? And an asterina starfish.

Asterina can be bothersome for people, but they've been fine in my experience with them

On the snail and the hammers they have the same spiral idk if it's a pest or just natural and I can try and take a better pic sorry

Vermitid snails... that's what the spiral things are. They don't bother me but alot of people hate them.

Vermatids snails. They're pests, but as far as I know there's really nothing you can do besides manual removal. They won't destroy your reef, but they can become wide spread and they leave little strings of web like material that can irritate corals.

I just leave mine alone and hope they get covered by the corals ad they grow outward. I find that removal is more trouble than it's worth. But it may be easy for you to remove and keep up with, it might be worth the shot then

Hope that helps

Yeah that's a better shot for sure. 100% Vermatid snails. I say just leave them be, keeping up with them is annoying and irritates the corals more than the snails themselves do

You can always put superglue over the heads of the snails and that kills them

Also, if you have zoas keep an eye on the asterina, they can apparently have a taste for zoas, although mine haven't.

The second thing I noticed is on the elegance I'll zoom in and share a shot of that too... Thanks I'll do some research on them and see what I can do!

Np, mine have been as well. So I just keep them around because they're cool.
