Hey everyone!

I have some Florida LR that has been in my system for 4+ months but recently has been showing some amazing life. There are two new critters I'm not educated on.

A snail I've never seen before along with some type of worm filter feeder, that can retract? This is all in my sump for now. However the snail had babies and there is a tiny tiny on in my display on the glass I noticed tonight.

The first one is a limpet. I can’t tell what the second one is, maybe an anemone or urchin.

Aren't there two types of limpets? One that has a hole or something and is not reef safe?

The second one is fuzzy and will extend a long tube like thing. It will retract into a very small size. Picture of it reacted is posted, you can see it on the wall of the sump attached.

The limpet you have is most likely reefsafe since it doesn’t look like a key limpet(a sps coral eating limpet). Unless you have seen it eating coral. Does the second critter move cause it could be a (Maybe a lettuce)nudibranch considering the fuzzy look and tube(proboscis).

Yes the fuzzy thing has moved a few inches. It was upside down in a rock, then it dropped and found this corner. There is one other that I can also see. Currently only in the sump. Reef safe?

Does it look like this up close?

No not at all. Looks like a pineapple sponge when it's retracted, then like the video I posted when open at night.

Could be a pest anemone, possibly a white form of Aiptasia.

I would remove it no matter what it is exactly, since it retracted it’s most likely Aiptasia(not reef safe at all).
