Interesting and unsure... #reefsquad get a closer/better picture or just pull it out and snap a photo than just make sure to cover your hands just in case its something that stings or bites... Most likely not but you never know!1st pic: looks like a tiny piece of rubble rock on the glass
2nd pic: weird snail found on rock

It’s really hard for my phone to focus on aquarium glass when up close so it’s really hard to take a detailed photo. They all moved somewhere else I don’t know where so I can’t take them out

Looked it up on the TBS rock hitchhiker site cause they all appeared after I added their rock and the 2nd pic might be a whelk snail which is not reef safe. Idk what the 1st pic is though

Weird... just hope they come out again pull them out immediately i guess specifically the whelk snail.
Yeah, I can’t tell what the thing is at all in the first pic - you’ll definitely need clearer pics for that one.
The second pic, I can tell the snail eats meat and that it’s from the taxonomic superfamily Buccinoidea. It may be either a predatory snail, a dove snail, or a Nassarius species of some kind - but I’m leaning toward it being a predatory one at the moment. That said, some clear, straight-on shots of the full snail - top, bottom, and both sides - would be useful to know for sure.
