Hitchhikers ID??

[Sharkbait19]

So I’ve been watching my rocks for hitchhikers and found two suspicious things.
1: this snail

2: featherduster worms or apistas?

I do apologize for the poor resolution, but this was the best I could do.

The snails look like nassarius snails good clean up crew member. The picture is poor but it kind of looks like mini featherduster worm also good, these are filter feeders.

I figured they were featherdusters. Here’s a more clear photo:

Also, thanks for clearing it up for the snail. He’s a tiny guy! But still a nice way to save money in my book!

Snail looks like a dove snail. Anachis hotessieriana may be the one. Third picture is mini feather dusters.

I found this weird worm today. Any thoughts?

Cool, a bristle worm. I probably have a few hundred on just one rock. I love the little guys, cannot wait for them to grow up and start having parties.

Ok, that’s what I thought it was. thanks!!!

those items also prove you brought home skip cycle live rock, the kind that doesnt take any time to get ready, interestingly (fanworm attachment takes longer than a cycling chart shows a cycle takes)

your rock was as ready/cycled in the first ten minutes you added it to the tank as it will be in five years.

Wow! That’s cool!
