I agree with PagoJoe - Elysiids. They are harmless and feed on certain species of algae, so nothing to be worried about.

Hi guys. Can anyone ID this baby snail. I have some Trochus snails in my tank, could this be a baby? I caught it just to be safe and need to confirm before I let it back in.

In the process of setting up a Biocube 29, starting to add live rock getting the cycle going. Was looking at the rock today and noticed something on it. Can anyone help me ID this? First picture in the album is the clearest i think.

Usually when someone thinks they have a baby Trochus, they end up having something else. But in your case... you actually have a baby Trochus

Cheers,

Do

Harmless pineapple sponge.

sparky5785 · 05/12/2015, 03:19 PM

Any idea what kind of snail? this is? Or is it something else? Just found it on a rock.

Martini5788 · 05/12/2015, 04:41 PM

Yes

Hey guys and gals.

Hope the picture is good enough, what is this weird white network like structure next to this discosoma? I havent observed anything sticking its head out of these white tubes.

Here is a better pic

I purchased some more live rock for my tank and when I was adding it to the tank, I noticed these guys all over this little rock. Can anybody ID them?

BTW, my tank doesn't have yellow lighting like that nor is it that dark. I autoenhanced the picture to make it more visible.

Those are very unhappy palythoas. They may come around with good water quality and lighting.

Thanks for that ID, here's an updated pic, although the quality isn't the best since it's from my phone, lol. My SG had climbed a little to 1.028 so I did a water change with RO and I had just installed a new 36" set of LED's two days ago so I think they're gonna do okay! Any care advice for these guys?

SaltwaterTeabag · 05/17/2015, 01:27 PM

Just found in my quarantine tank, I have been searching but not sure on identity .....

Martini5788 · 05/17/2015, 02:44 PM

How big is it? Baby bristleworm?

SaltwaterTeabag · 05/17/2015, 03:58 PM

Very small, a 1/2 inch or less.

osteor10 · 05/18/2015, 01:48 PM

looks like a baby bristle to me

That would be my guess as well, an epitoke. Harmless.

SaltwaterTeabag · 05/18/2015, 04:30 PM

Thanks to all for the input and help.

coffee_snob · 05/18/2015, 06:37 PM

Dwarf Cerith snail eggs I believe.
