I'm dipping some new corals and found these.I'm pretty sure the worm is a bristle worm but I'm completely stumped on the other slug like thing.

yea look it up its is most likely a limpet they are good guys and thats a come up as youcant really find them for sale in Hawaii they call them opihi
 
The first looks to me like a chiton. Most consider them beneficial clean-up crew from what I've read, and I've seen them for sale for more than $10 each.

One way to know if it is a chiton or limpet is that limpets have a single shell while chitons have a segmented shell, I believe.

I had two that came in on a ricordea, I tossed them into my tank but the bristle worms had to go. I don't have a Quarantine system so I look forward to seeing everything else that I didn't see
