Tiny Pinhead snail on glass

[Monkeynaut]

I used a 15 times lens on my iphone and the digital zoom to get the video.

This Snail? is the size of a pin head. I have two of them on the glass that I have found. Seems like there are even more on the back glass (several).

I'm not sure what it is or if I should be worried. I have been having trouble with some of my corals dying. I can't say these guys are the problem or not though. I do have a malinarus wrasse. I thought he would eat little snails.

It's a Spirorbid Worm. they are not a problem. Their just little feather duster like things in coiled tubes.

Neat. Thanks Lionfish Lair. It's amazing how stuff like this just pops up in a saltwater tank!

Never seen them magnified 15x, but looks like Spirorbris, an encrusting filter feeder. I scrape them off with an old credit card occasionally. More information:

Yep, a fun part of the hobby and that's why I like live rock so

And that's a pretty darn good picture for an iPhone, BTW. Most impressed.

It was the special lens mostly. Thank you though!

Check out this pod video I did.

How big do they get?

 

[Lionfish Lair]

That's probably about it.
