Weird stuff, please help?

Francois · Oct 22, 2014

Hello people. I have 3questions (for now), can anyone please assist in identifying?

1) I have this pinkish stuff with white dots under one of my live rock, does anyone know what this might be?
2) There is a see-through tube kinda thingy sticking out from under my clam's 'crown'?
3) It looks like a snail of sorts, is it?

Thank you for helping

The first picture looks like a cone snail, though I can't be sure as they tend to look like another snail (Harmless variety). If that is a cone snail, they are, unfortunately, parasitic of Giant Clams.

The second and third pictures I am unsure of, but great pictures! Have you tried a Google image search, by chance?

Hello and thanks for the reply. I have tried all over the net for answers but couldn't find anything. Are cone snails see - through because I can see right through that one?

I believe they are, or usually white, but given the shape and the snail's location I would assume the worse. Have you checked the clam's "foot".. they like to crowd around there...

In picture #3 right in front of that clam or whatever it may be, on the glass, is a little bug... see it? it may also be something growing on the glass like aiptasia.. but i just noticed it...
