Can anybody tell me what these are? And if they are bad or good?
They are all over in our sump
Thank you for your help

Hoping for some IDs please. This tank is just setup so I am hoping some stuff survives! What are my chances?

What type of crab are they? (now in sump)

ID please

Not sure what this is, or even if it is alive?

?

Thanks

i only found a fresh skin of this little fella, but is this a good or bad crab?

kevin21 · 01/06/2015, 08:20 AM

Bad, would assume it is some sort of Mithrax crab. Black claws and hairy legs are no good (most of the time) for a reef.

AmberLee · 01/06/2015, 04:04 PM

Id please?

cloak · 01/06/2015, 04:14 PM

Sundial snail? (bad)

AmberLee · 01/06/2015, 04:18 PM

That's what I thought at a glance but then comparing them, they look nothing alike?

If you can, grab the snail and put it in a small Tupperware container full of water. Take some more pictures of it. (different angles)

AmberLee · 01/06/2015, 11:34 PM

Looks like a bristle worm to me. Mixed reviews but typically fine. I have tons in my tank

Oh ok cool thanks. I didnt know bristle worms walked though haha

AmberLee · 01/07/2015, 10:00 PM

I just found some sort of coral

Yay, he seems to dislike the light, closes up if I have it on (found him in LR in sump)

Hoping for an ID so I can find out more!!

Zbreefer · 01/09/2015, 09:30 AM

I believe these are "Flatworm - C. retrogemma or the "Red Menace". http://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhiker/hitchhiker.shtml says to watch them. Can anyone confirm this identification?

Any thoughts on keeping them or flushing them? They are in my QT at the moment. Glad I QT everything!

Thanks ZB

cloak · 01/09/2015, 01:10 PM

Yep, flatworms.

I would flush them just to be safe.

Very new to this, and I saw someone post a similar pic but didn't see a response, it's the only thing living in my newly set up aquarium, I purchased it used with lots of dried live rock so this must have come in on some "living" LR I purchased from big al's to help seed. Not sure if it needs to go or not, and if so, how. FYI I'm planning on adding fish in about 2 weeks and coral later on down the road after everything is settled.

duanegraham · 01/09/2015, 06:19 PM

Oops apparently new to the Internet as well haha, here's the pic.
