Id and question

Simba · Apr 14, 2013

Hello...I picked up some zoa frags yesterday and found the below hitchicker attached to the bottom of one of them. Does anyone know what it is? Is it something I should/could put in my DT? The other thing I noticed was in my overflow section I found the below. I'm thinking they are good to have however I don't want to get excited until I know for sure. Plus if they are not good I have to figure out a way to get them out of my tank. I appreciate any help I can get!!!

First pic looks like a little limpet..hard to tell how large it is in the pic though..limpets are great algae eaters..don't seem to harm anything. If you can post a pic comparing the size to something else that would help. 2nd pic looks like amiphipods..again, good cleaner and should pose no problem..good eating for certain fish haha

Thank-you Jonny for the quick reply. Here are a few more pictures which I hope will help positively identify the first picture. I used a dime to compare size. I'm glad the second picture is positive. Thank-you again!

+1 clams, and then spirobid snails and pods, the spirobids will eventually go away, they're like a new tank bloom, but can stick around if there is over feeding. and the pods are great.
