Looking for help identifying these critters that came in from TBS a week and a half ago.
I know one is a mantis shrimp.
Is the red stems a macro algae?
There are tunicates, but what kind?
Is that a whelk? Should I remove it?
What is the see through blob with white speckles?

I am dosing 10 ml SpongExcel to encourage sponge and tunicate growth. Like the different looks
