I have a 29g bio cube with 20lbs of LR I noticed a couple of things tonight one a critter on my rock not sure what it might be hoping someone could tell me my thoughts it might be some form of shrimp but I'm not entirely sure. Also small white patches that appear to have bubbles in them. I have no clue what it might be anyone have any ideas I have attached photos. Thanks in advance!

Hard to confirm in pics but that could b a mantis ull probably have to get him outta there
 
And the other looks like a sponge. Looking at the eyes I'm leaning towards a mantis shrimp.
 
Welcome!
 
Welcome to reef2reef! Glad to have you!
 
Welcome to you as your tank matures you will find a bunch of diff critters in there some bad but overall most not harmful just a part of ocean life.
 
Thank you everyone and I'm unsure only see him a couple times a day he goes in and out of the holes in my LR.
 
Welcome to R2R, we love to see pictures of your tank.:)

Picked up this 30g cube about a week ago, can't wait to build again!
 
It looks like a small pistol shrimp or some kind of shrimp honestly all you need is a wrasse in there and he'll be gone in a few days

Good luck with your tank!
 
Okay so now I have some things that pop open interested if anyone that knows what it could be there are only two I have seen so far the open and close a lot and are small so I have had to zoom in on them here they are...

That's what I thought they might be just want some expert opinions thanks do I need to feed them anything special to keep them growing and alive?
