Hi all,

Picked up a few snails this weekend, and a couple of small pieces of aquacultured live rock for some zoa / GSP "islands" when I'm coral-ready!

Have a few, smaller, thin worm-like things coming off the snail shells as well as the rock. Looks like I also have (from reading other threads on this board!) A horse head limpet. Nice.

Any idea what these little danglers could be, or how to get a more definitive view (magnifying glass, zoom lens, )

Thanks all!

Looks like a spionid worm- some people love them some people hate them. They can explode in numbers if you are overfeeding, and can bug corals. My biggest issue with them is that they steal food from corals that don't eat it fast enough, but I appreciate them as a clean up crew.

Also- that's a nice looking bivalve there!
 
Thanks a lot - and thanks a lot!

Appreciate the reply
