Could anyone please id these:

Could you please ID:
1. The little worm things - are these flatworms & if so - are they the good or the bad kind? These 2 are small - about 1cm long & the left one is 0,5cm - one I saw this morning was about 1.5-2cm long ish.
2. the little white dots on the glass (left red circle, bottom right corner), I believe them to be snails (snail house & they move like snails, hard to take a clearer picture with a decent focus)

thank you!
 
The critters you circled appear to be chitons, good guys, eat algae. The photo is not sufficient to make an ID on the snails. If you're able to capture them into a container it may help with taking better photos. Try behind a black background or white background etc.
No problem! Seems plausible, also reminds me of this guy I found in one of my tanks, video below. I was told it was either an abalone or baby nerite but I'm not convinced of either. The shell doesn't seem right for either.


Mine look exactly the same! Albeit, a little bit smaller than that one.. guessing from the reactions they're reef safe too?

Thanks guys!

They look like chitons, generally harmless.

The small white “baby” snail in the other photos are commonly referred to as collonista snails. Generally when you see one collonista during daylight there’s another hundred that will come out when the lights are out, they used to cover my front glass at night eating algae....then I got a Melanarus Wrasse.....
